# Description `SpanWeight#explain` uses `Similarity.SimScorer` to generate explanations, and may fail with NullPointerException when scoring is not needed and thus `Similarity.SimScorer` is set to null, such as matching for must not occur span query. # Solution The solution is to check for null `Similarity.SimScorer` in `SpanWeight#explain`, and provides alternative explanation. # Tests Added 1 integration test to `TestMemoryIndex` that was broken before the fix. # Checklist Please review the following and check all that apply: - [x] I have reviewed the guidelines for [How to Contribute](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute) and my code conforms to the standards described there to the best of my ability. - [x] I have created a Jira issue and added the issue ID to my pull request title. - [x] I have given Solr maintainers [access](https://help.github.com/en/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork) to contribute to my PR branch.
