Dear All,

                When using lucene to search documents, the results have a
score based on their relativity to the search term. Inside lucene, the score 
percentage is calculated as a percentage of the maximum score achieved.

Assume we are searching for Amr ElAdawy

We get results like the following along with the score:
Omar ElAdawy --> 1.6
Amro ElAdawy --> 1.9
Amir Adawi --> 1.3


With no exact match. Then the percentage will be calculated relative to the
highest score ( despite the fact that it is not exact match). So the
percentage will be:

Omar ElAdawy --> 84.21%
Amro ElAdawy --> 100%
Amir Adawi --> 68.42%


I need to change that, so the percentage will be relative to the exact match
score. And will be something like that (assuming the Matching result score
is 3):

Omar ElAdawy --> 53.33%
Amro ElAdawy --> 63.33%
Amir Adawi --> 43.33%


using lucene 2.9.4

Regards,
Amr ElAdawy
