(hello* OR hello~) -- Jack Krupansky From: sri krishna Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 11:08 AM To: dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: composition of different queries based scores for a search string hello*~ how the scoring is calculated? as the formula given in the url: http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_0_1/api/core/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html, doesnot take into consideration of edit distance and prefix term corresponding factors into account. Does lucene add up the scores obtained from each type of query included i.e for the above query actual score=default scoring+1/(edit distance)+prefix match score ?, If so, there is no normalization between scores, else what is the approach lucene follows starting from seperating each query based identifiers like (~(edit distance), *(prefix query) etc) to actual scoring.
