Sorry, I did not give the full output in the first post. For what it looks, the fieldNorm is saying that: 1 match out of 3 words in record 1 is more significant than 2 matches out of 8 words in record 2. That would be true for simple arithmetic, but unsatisfactory in human 'meaning'.
Here are the full explanation. Record 2 has some boosting as well. Record 1: 1.5843434 = (MATCH) sum of: 1.5372416 = (MATCH) sum of: 1.2878088 = (MATCH) max plus 0.1 times others of: 1.2878088 = (MATCH) weight(crs_name_en:coach in 6430), product of: 0.20103075 =
