Hi,

Note that as 
http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html#lengthNorm(java.lang.String,%20int)
points out:

"[T]hese values are computed under IndexWriter.addDocument(Document)  and
stored then using {#encodeNorm(float)}. Thus they have limited precision,
and documents must be re-indexed if this method is altered."

So you can't get rid of fieldNorm at search time, as it is stored for each
Field in the index itself; you have to reindex with a new Similarity that
returns 1 in lengthNorm using IndexWriter.setSimilarity(Similarity s).

If you want to stick to tf-idf, then you can override coord, queryNorm,
and lengthNorm, but again, lengthNorm can only be overriden at index time.

Alternately, as Anson suggested below, you can hack the source for the 
Hits class to ignore the fieldNorm stored in the index.

Hope this helps,

Josh

How do I get rid of QueryWeight, fieldWeight, fieldNorm from the scoring?

I tried modifying TermQuery without much luck.
