: Did you come across : : scoreNorm = 1.0f / topDocs.getMaxScore(); : or something of this sort in Hits? : As per my knowledge, the initial score is more than 1 but finally the scores : get divided by the maxScore of the matched doc set. i.e. Setting an upper : limit of 1 (for the max scorer).
that code results in a "psuedo-normalization" that generally isn't meaningful -- mainly because it's normalized relative the highest scoring doc for that query against that index, not any absolute highest possible score for that query, or absolute highest possible score for that index. scores aren't comparable from one query to the next, so normalizing between0 and 1 won't tell you anything meaningful -- a "normalized" score of "1" from query A isn't neccesarily better then a normalized score of 0.9 from query B. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
