Hi Guys,
Finally I have sorted the problem of hits score thanks to the great help of
Franck.
I have hit another problem with the boolean operators now.
When I search for "Winston and churchill" i get a set of perfectly
acceptable results.
But when I change the order, "churchill and winston" the results are the
same but the order of the results changes.
I don't it is interpreted as the same request. As you should know the 
terms of a boolean query have a 'required' flag.
As to me, your request 'winston and churchill' is interpreted as 
'winston (not required)' and 'churchill (required)'
But your request 'churchill and winston' is interpreted as 'churchill 
(not required)' and 'winston (required)'

I think you'd rather search for 'and winston and churchill' (which 
should be the same than 'and churchill and winston') to have the both 
terms required

Franck

Is it possible to have the same order (hits.score) irrespective of which
term is given before or after?
Regards,
Niraj
