Hello Will, hello Armin, A lot of time has passed since that original post of mine.
Since then we have gone away from using the JCR search. Instead we use google-CSE, for a number of reasons: - google is better at indexing. Google searches all kinds of content, including PDFs and other common file types, and finds good matches for everything - google combines results - documents and web-content get indexed and scored in the same way - google only searches public data - since the CSE scans from the outside, there is no chance of "secrets" landing in the index - google permits more powerful queries - by using the different query filters and providing sitemaps with extra data we can define all kinds of very specific searches (eg: search for the term "food" within the path "/some/path" returning documents in English with the data property "important") --> while many of these examples might also be achievable with JCR Searches you would have to do quite some tweaking of the indexing configuration. In the JCR Search, we originally simply combined the 2 result-lists into one, using the scores as they came. The result wasn't bad, seemed to make sense. Reading into it in some more detail after you pointed out the problem with this approach showed that whether this works out or not is more a matter of luck than anything else. In JCR 1 it simply isn't possible to combine search results because of the scoring. In JCR 2.0, I have not checked if there is any difference with respect to this problem...

Richard, would you mind describing your step "3. Combine the results, sort by score." in more details?
