Wow this is simpler than I thought it would be, based on the title &
description any way.
> SpanQuery scoring inconsistencies
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2880
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2880
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Fix For: 4.9, Trunk
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-2880.patch, LUCENE-2880.patch

>
> Spinoff of LUCENE-2879.
> You can see a full description there, but the gist is that SpanQuery sums up
> freqs with "sloppyFreq".
> However this slop is simply spans.end() - spans.start()
> For a SpanTermQuery for example, this means its scoring 0.5 for TF versus
> TermQuery's 1.0.
> As you can imagine, I think in practical situations this would make it
> difficult for SpanQuery users to
> really use SpanQueries for effective ranking, especially in combination with
> non-Spanqueries (maybe via DisjunctionMaxQuery, etc)
> The problem is more general than this simple example: for example
> SpanNearQuery should be consistent with PhraseQuery's slop.
