: But not which terms have an odd IDF value because of those deleted : documents. How much does the IDF value contribute to the "score" in : search?
all idf's are affected equally, because the 'numDocs" value used is allways the same ... it really shouldn't affect the scores from a query, it just makes it hard to compare the scores you get from one index reader with the scores you get from a new index reader after deleting and readding a bunch of documents. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
