[apologies for the earlier errant send] I think BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery(false); doesn't quite accomplish the desired "name IN (dick, rich)" scoring behavior. This is because (name:dick | name:rich) with coord=false would score the 'document' "Dick Rich" higher than "Rich" because the former has two term matches and the latter only one. In contrast, I think the desire is that one and only one of the terms in the document match those in the BooleanQuery so that "Rich" would score higher than "Dick Rich", given document length normalization. It's almost like a desire for BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery(false); bq.set*Maximum*NumberShouldMatch(1);
Is there a good way to accomplish this?
