I have two documents doc1 and doc2 and each one of those has a field called phoneName.
doc1:phoneName:"Details about Apple iPhone 4s - 16GB - White (Verizon) Smartphone Factory Unlocked" doc2:phoneName:"Apple iPhone 4S 16GB for Net10, No Contract, White" Here if I search for q=iphone+4s+16gb&qf=phoneName&mm=1&pf=phoneName&ps=1&pf2=phoneName&pf3=phoneName&stopwords=true&lowercaseOperators=true Doc1 and Doc2 both have the same identical score , but since the field phoneName in the doc2 has shorter length I would expect it to have a higher score , but both have an identical score of 9.961212. The phoneName filed is defined as follows.As we can see no where am I specifying omitNorms=True, still the behavior seems to be that the length norm is not functioning at all. Can some one let me know whats the issue here ? <field name="phoneName" type="text_en_splitting" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" /> <fieldType name="text_en_splitting" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory" /> <!-- in this example, we will only use synonyms at query time <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="index_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/> --> <!-- Case insensitive stop word removal. add enablePositionIncrements=true in both the index and query analyzers to leave a 'gap' for more accurate phrase queries. --> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="lang/stopwords_en.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt" /> <filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory" /> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory" /> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true" /> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="lang/stopwords_en.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt" /> <filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory" /> </analyzer> </fieldType>
