Hi Adrien, Using Explanation object, how do you get know which are the matching fields in a document for a query. In my case, I tried DisjunctionMaxQuery with tiebreaking matcher as 0.01f. what is the meaning of this argument?. After searching with the DisjunctionMaxQuery, I tried explain method of the searcher against this query and a hit document. I used getdescription() and toString() method but got some output as
" explan getdesc=max plus 0.01 times others of: explan tostring=8.773912 = max plus 0.01 times others of: 8.773912 = sum of: 8.773863 = weight(text2:abababababa11#abc10#abc16#a16#2 in 1066) [BM25Similarity], result of: 8.773863 = score(doc=1066,freq=1.0 = termFreq=1.0 ), product of: 8.8049755 = idf, computed as log(1 + (docCount - docFreq + 0.5) / (docFreq + 0.5)) from: 1.0 = docFreq 10000.0 = docCount 0.99646646 = tfNorm, computed as (freq * (k1 + 1)) / (freq + k1 * (1 - b + b * fieldLength / avgFieldLength)) from: 1.0 = termFreq=1.0 1.2 = parameter k1 0.75 = parameter b 28.2 = avgFieldLength 28.444445 = fieldLength 4.9819588E-5 = weight(text2:regular in 1066) [BM25Similarity], result of: 4.9819588E-5 = score(doc=1066,freq=1.0 = termFreq=1.0 ), product of: 4.999625E-5 = idf, computed as log(1 + (docCount - docFreq + 0.5) / (docFreq + 0.5)) from: 10000.0 = docFreq 10000.0 = docCount 0.99646646 = tfNorm, computed as (freq * (k1 + 1)) / (freq + k1 * (1 - b + b * fieldLength / avgFieldLength)) from: 1.0 = termFreq=1.0 1.2 = parameter k1 0.75 = parameter b 28.2 = avgFieldLength 28.444445 = fieldLength" How to know the matching fields from an Explanation Object?

Otherwise you could use the low-level search APIs in order to do this. It would look something like that if you want to find which query among `queries` matches document `docID` (I did not check it compiles but it should give the idea): List<Query> queries; int docID; IndexSearcher searcher; int leafIndex = ReaderUtil.subIndex(docID, searcher.getIndexReader().leaves()); LeafReaderContext leaf = searcher.getIndexReader().leaves().get(leafIndex); int leafDocID = docID - leaf.docBase; for (Query query : queries) { Weight weight = searcher.createNormalizedWeight(query); Scorer scorer = weight.scorer(leaf); boolean matches = scorer.advance(leafDocID) == leafDocID; } Le lun. 19 juin 2017 à 11:24, Frederik Van Hoyweghen < frederik.vanhoyweg...@chapoo.com> a écrit : > Hey everyone, > > To start, we are using Lucene 4.3. > > To search, we prepare several queries and combine these into a > BooleanQuery. > What we are looking for is a way to determine on which specific fields > a certain document matched. > For example, I create 2 queries: one to search in the "Name" field, > and another to search in the "Description" field. > > Combining these into a BooleanQuery and running it will return the > matching documents, but we'd like to know for each document returned > whether there was a match in the Name field or in the Description > field. > > It seems to me that something like the highlighter would need to know > this too but highlighting isn't a goal currently.
