: The problem comes when your float value is encoded into that 8 bit : field norm, the 3 length and 4 length both become the same 8 bit : value. Call Similarity.encodeNorm on the values you calculate for the : different numbers of terms and make sure they return different byte : values.
bingo. You can't change encodeNorm and decodeNorm (because they are static -- they need to work at query time regardless of what Similarity was used at index time) but you can change the function of your length norm to make small deviations in short lengths significant enough to register even with the encoding. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
