Re: Removing lengthNorm from the calculation
If you aren't using index-time document boosting, or field boosting for that field specifically, then set omitNorms=true for that field in the schema, shut down solr, completely remove the index, and then re-index. The norms for each field consist of the index-time boost multiplied by the length normalization. -Yonik On 9/10/07, Kyle Banerjee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know I'm missing something really obvious, but I'm spinning my wheels figuring out how to eliminate lengthNorm from the calculations.

My lengthNorm() method is filled with clauses like:
} else if (whatever.equals(fieldName)) {
return super.lengthNorm(fieldName, /
Math.max(numTokens, MIN_LENGTH));
where MIN_LENGTH can be quite long for some fields.
