Chuck Williams, Thanks for the reply. Source code and Output are below. Please give me your inputs. Default document order i am getting is: Doc#2, Doc#4, Doc#3, Doc#1. Document order needed is: Doc#4, Doc#2, Doc#3, Doc#1. Let me know, if you need more information. NOTE: Using Luene "Query" object not BooleanQuery. Here is the source code: Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher("index"); Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.print("Query: "); String line = in.readLine(); Query query = QueryParser.parse(line, "contents", analyzer); System.out.println("Searching for: " + query.toString("contents")); Hits hits = searcher.search(query); System.out.println(hits.length() + " total matching documents"); for (int i = start; i < hits.length(); i++) { Document doc = hits.doc(i); System.out.print("Score is: "+ hits.score(i)); // Use whatever your fields are here: System.out.print(" title:"); System.out.print(doc.get("title")); System.out.print(" description:"); System.out.println(doc.get("description")); // End of fields System.out.println(searcher.explain(query, hits.id(i))); //System.out.println("Score of the document is: "+hits.score(i)); String path = doc.get("path"); if (path != null) { System.out.println(i + ". " + path); System.out.println("--------------------------"); } --- Here is the output from the program:

C:\tools\lucene-1.4.3\test\docs\doc1.txt -------------------------- Thanks, Gururaja Chuck Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The coord is the fraction of clauses matched in a BooleanQuery, so with your example of a 5-word BooleanQuery, the coord factors should be .4, .8, .8, 1.0 respectively for doc1, doc2, doc3 and doc4. One big issue you've got here is lengthNorm. Doc2 is 1/10 the size of doc4, so its lengthNorm is over 3x larger (sqrt(10)). This more than makes up for the difference in coord. In your original post you indicated a desire for a linear lengthNorm, which would actually make this problem much worse. You problem need to tone down the lengthNorm instead (I turn mine off entirely, at least so far, by fixing it at 1.0; this is not good in general, but got me past similar problems until I can find a good formula). You might try an inverse-log lengthNorm with a high base (like the formula for idf I posted earlier). The other thing that can bite you is the tf and idf computations. E.g., if manual is a more common term than the others, this could cause the tf*idf scores on doc2 to more than compensate for the difference in coord, even if you set lengthNorm to be 1.0. What is happening will be apparent from the explanations. If you print these out and post them, I'd be happy to suggest specific formulas. Just use code like this: IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory); System.out.println(query); Hits hits = searcher.search(query); for (int i=0; i Document doc = hits.doc(i); System.out.print(hits.score(i)); // Use whatever your fields are here: System.out.print(" title:"); System.out.print(doc.get("title")); System.out.print(" description:"); System.out.println(doc.get("description")); // End of fields System.out.println(searcher.explain(query, hits.id(i))); System.out.println("--------------------------"); } Chuck > -----Original Message----- > From: Gururaja H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2004 4:56 AM > To: Lucene Users List > Subject: Re: Relevance and ranking ... > > Hi Erik, > > Created my own subclass of Similarity.
