Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-664:
-------------------------------------------

OK I did some more small fixes to the sections "Query Classes" and "Changing Similarity". Just added some missing links, fixed a broken link, tightened up wording, etc. I'll attach a patch.

Also a couple random questions:

* Should this go into the Wiki or into the Web site? Is there a general criteria / guideline that we've converged on for Wiki vs Web site?

This seems like a first level document to me. I thought about putting it up on the Wiki initially so it would be easier to get edits done and then promote it, but in the end decided not to. I think things on the Wiki get buried and ignored to some extent. People are always asking about scoring and the query classes and how to override these things, so I think that justifies it as top-level document in my mind.


* Is there a reason why we are linking to the "ViewVC" page in the Big Picture section? Can't we just link to the javadoc?

There are no javadocs for the ones in question, I don't think. I believe the ones in question are related to BooleanWeight* and BooleanScorer* The ViewVC page was a compromise of not providing any links.



* Should we change the title / purpose to be an overview of the Query classes and also details of scoring? I think the Query Classes section is a great intro to the different Query classes.

or even split them out into a separate document????

This is an awesome initiative. We need more docs that cleanly explain the inner workings of Lucene in general... thanks Grant & Steve & others! I have a few small initial proposed fixes, largely just adding some more description around the components of the formula. But also a couple typos, another link out to Wikipedia, a missing closing ), etc. I've only made it through the "Understanding the Scoring Formula" section so far.
