term scoring (idf) question

2005-09-15 Thread Yonik Seeley
I'm trying to figure out why idf is multiplied twice into the score of a term query. It sort of makes sense if you have just one term... the original weight is idf*boost, and the normalization factor is 1/(idf*boost), so you multiply in the idf again if you want the final score to contain an idf
