First off, I would start by using Lucene's explain functionality to see why one result appears before the other. The explain method will tell you all the factors that go into scoring each of your results, as it goes beyond just term frequency.

Finally, you might find http://www.lucidimagination.com/Community/Hear-from-the-Experts/Articles/Debugging-Relevance-Issues-Search helpful. One of the things I often tell people is that if you know a certain result needs to be in a certain place for a certain query, just put it there. Otherwise, don't sweat relative position too much unless you have a result that you think is good buried (i.e. page 5) deep down in your results.

Hello all,

i've a search application which uses lucene-2.3.0 , and my application running for a banking domain. Am indexing some banking urls as an input and am searching some keywords. What my doubt is when i search
"cards", the less count keyword url comes up. I mean , for example

http:// www.siteA.com http:// www.siteB.com http:// www.siteC.com

in that urls , http://www.siteB.com has got more
number of words count "cards" than the other two sites. But when am
searching am getting the http://www.siteB.com as the last search result,
other two urls are coming up.

But i need the url which has more number word counts will come up . I used filed.setBoost(100f); Is it the right way to boost the field? How do i do my above. ? please anyone help me out of this.......
