Hi Furkan,

in order to change the BM25 parameter values k1 and b, the following XML snippet needs to be added in your schema.xml configuration file:

<similarity class="solr.BM25SimilarityFactory">
  <float name="k1">1.3</float>
  <float name="b">0.7</float>
</similarity>

It is even possible to specify the SimilarityFactory on individual index fields. See [1] for more details.

Hi,

Sole's default similarity is BM25 anymore. Its parameters are defined as

k1=1.2, b=0.75

as default. However is there any way that to check the effect of using
different coefficients to calculate BM25 to find the optimal values?

Kind Regards,
Furkan KAMACI
