PrefixQuery does no scoring at all, so all results get the same score. A
good trick to emphasize exact hits is adding both queries (TermQuery and
PrefixQuery), maybe boost the PrefixQuery even down by 0.2 or like that:
qp = new QueryParser(...) {
@Override
protected Query newTermQuery(Term term) {
final BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery();
bq.add(super.newTermQuery(term), BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD);
final Query pq = new PrefixQuery(term);
pq.setBoost(0.2f);
bq.add(pq, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD);
return bq;
}
};
If you then get a exact hit, this hits both clauses and gets extra
boost.
Hits only on the prefix get a much lower score.
