Re: Are similarity scores computed when using sort?

[Erik Hatcher]

Yes, Similarity is still computed.  It has to be in order to determine 
if the documents considered are a hit or not.  Scores of 0 are not a 
hit.

You certainly could simplify the Similarity computations though, by 
creating your own implementation and returning 1 from all the methods.

I have an search application that is very performance conscious.  I've

clarify whether a similarity score is calculated if the results are 
sorted by some numerical field value? Basically, it would be 
preferable to not incur the computational cost of generating a 
similarity score if it is never used.
