Chris Male commented on LUCENE-4208:
------------------------------------
bq. TwoDoubles is getting overhauled to support the dateline and any query
shape--should probably go into another issue.
Yes please!
> Spatial distance relevancy should use score of 1/distance

> Key: LUCENE-4208
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4208
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: modules/spatial
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Fix For: 4.0

> Attachments:
> LUCENE-4208_makeQuery_return_ConstantScoreQuery_and_remake_TwoDoublesStrategy.patch

>
> The SpatialStrategy.makeQuery() at the moment uses the distance as the score
> (although some strategies -- TwoDoubles if I recall might not do anything
> which would be a bug). The distance is a poor value to use as the score
> because the score should be related to relevancy, and the distance itself is
> inversely related to that. A score of 1/distance would be nice. Another
> alternative is earthCircumference/2 - distance, although I like 1/distance
> better. Maybe use a different constant than 1.
> Credit: this is Chris Male's idea.
