Hello, I'm in a situation where a search query string is being submitted simultaneously to Lucene, and to an external API.
Results are fetched from both sources. I already have a score available for Lucene results, but I don't have a score for the results fetched from the external source. I'd like to calculate scores of results from the API, so that I can rank the results by the score, and show the top 5 results from both sources. (I.e the results would be merged.) Is there any Lucene API method, to which I can submit a search string and result string, and get a score back? If not, which class contains the source code for calculating the score, so that I can implement my own scoring class, using the same algorithm? I've looked at the Similarity class Javadocs, but it doesn't include any source code for calculating the score. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
