Hi Grant, > but you should have a look at Searcher.explain()
I was half-expecting this answer. :( The query is very basic and the scoring seems completely arbitrary. Documents with the same number of ocurrences and (seemingly) distribution are being given widely different scores. > Chris Hostetter > NOTE: the score returned by Hits is not a "percentage" ... > a score of 0.9 from 1 query isn't better then a score of 0.1 from another query. Thanks for re-emphasizing these points (I was aware of them in any event).
