Hi all,
I have a general query about fieldNorm
Is it advisable to use fieldNorm (which kinds of gives importance to
shorter length fields).
Is there any set of standard factors on which the decision of turning
fieldNorm on/off can be taken?
*In my use case:-*

descriptive nature.
Will the same argument apply if field length can't be more than some
threshold (say 10) like in case of "Title"?
"title" are generally short in length.
Consider following exa
