We are getting inconsistent scoring results in Solr. It works about 95% of the time, where a search on one term returns the results which equal exactly that one term at the top, and results with multiple terms that also contain that one term are returned lower. Occasionally, however, if a subset of the data has been re-indexed (the same data just added to the index again) then the results will be slightly off, for example the data from the earlier index will get a higher score than it should, until we re-index all the data.
Our assumption here is that setting omitNorms to false, then indexing the data, then searching, should result in scores where the data with an exact match has a higher score. We usually see this but not always. Is something added to the score besides the value that is being searched that we are not understaning? Thanks. ..................................................................
