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 -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Search-Score-percentage-Should-not-be-relative-to-the-highest-score-tp2183420p2183420.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
