After some digging and experimentation, here are some more details on the issue I'm seeing.
1. The adjusted documents' scores are always exactly (debug_score/N), where N is the number of OR items in the query. For example, `&q=firstName:gabby~ firstName_phonetic:gabby firstName_tokens:(gabby)` will result in some of the documents with firstName==GABBY receiving a score 1/3 of the score of other GABBY documents, even though the debug explanation shows that they generated the same score. 2. This doesn't appear to be a brand new issue, or an issue with SolrCloud. I've tested the problem using SolrCloud 5.5.0, Solr 5.5.0 (not cloud), and Solr 5.4.1. Anyone have any ideas?

For example, here is the top-level debug information for two documents matched by a query: 114628: Object description: "sum of:" details: Array[2] match: true value: 20.542768 357547: Object description: "sum of:" details: Array[2] match: true value: 26.517654 But they have scores 114628: 20.542767 357547: 13.258826 I expect the second document to be the most relevant for my query, and the debug values seem to agree. However, in the final score I receive, that document's score has been adjusted down. The relevant debug response information can be found here: http://apaste.info/mju Does anyone have an idea why the Solr score may differ from the debug value? Thanks, -Rick
