Also on the first image you can see that the description field doesn't define the omitNorms flag, again meaning it is set to false. (Default for omitNorms is false). This can all be confirmed on the second image, where the Properties and Schema rows have omitNorms set to checked. I am having some issues understanding why some results have a fieldNorm set to 1 for matches on the description field. As you can see from the third image, the description field has a rather large number of terms in it, yet the fieldNorm is being set to 1.0 for matching 'supply' on the description field. My guess is that the Omit Norms flag for the 'Index' row is causing the issue. Questions: >From the first picture, can anyone tell me what each row (Properties, Schema and Index) refers to? I think the Properties row refers to the flags set when defining the Field Type, which for this field is text. The Schema row refers to the flags set when defining the field, which is description. I'm not as sure where the Index row flags come from, but I'm assuming it defines what the index is really representing? Am I right in assuming the Omit Norms flag in the Index row of the first picture is what is causing fieldNorm issues in the second image? If I am correct in the above question, how do I fix it? Additional information: I am not using the standard request handler. I am using a custom request handler that uses eDisMax. The description_sortAlpha field that the description field is copying to is a text field *but* it has omitNorms set to true My Index Analyzers for the description field are: WhitespaceTokenizerFactory, StopFilterFactory, WordDelimiterFilterFactory, LowerCaseFilterFactory and RemoveDuplicatesTokenFIlterFactory, in that order My Query Analyzers for the description field are: WhitespaceTokenizerFactory, SynonymFilterFactory, StopFilterFactory, WordDelimiterFilterFactory, LowerCaseFilterFactory and RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory, in that order. The description field is not the only text field to be having this omit norms issue for the Index row. There are actually a couple of others.
