Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-664:
------------------------------------
Hi Grant,
For part 1, I am ok with having it after the scoring formula.
For part 2, my motivation was to make it more clear in:
- - what's inside the sum and what's outside (as you said).
- - what's decided at indexing time and what's still controllable at search
time.
- - how boosts and encoding/decoding play in.
- - what's fixed and what can be modified, by subclassing, say,
DefaultSimilarity.
So {indexBoost, searchBoost, normalizer} were the tools to clear this up, and
also to make the formula shorter and easier to read in a glance.
Naturally, after delving so deep into it is now clear to me, but you are right,
it would be good to hear from others how they like this part.
Thanks,
Doron
