A question about the relevancy

[Naranjo, Pedro]

Hi there,

I have a question… we have two querys which only different is the fact that 
Query_1 includes phrase queries where Query_2  has the phrase query but 
converted into a Boolean query.

When each query is executed, Query_1 gives a relevancy of 1.0 and Query_2 gives 
one of 0.34. The question is why? Wouldn’t it the fact that each phrase query 
is now rewritten as a Boolean query give you a higher ranking as expected 
because it is matching every keyword in any order?

Please let me know if you see anything else that escaped me.

Sincerely,


Pedro Naranjo
