Hi Dmitry, I think, it is activated by PayloadTermQuery.

When debugging the code I have noticed, that the scorePayload method is never called. What could be wrong? [code] class PayloadSimilarity extends DefaultSimilarity { @Override public float scorePayload(int doc, int start, int end, BytesRef payload) { float payloadValue = PayloadHelper.decodeFloat(payload.bytes); System.out.println("payloadValue = " + payloadValue); return payloadValue; } } [/code] Here is how the similarity is injected during indexing: [code] PayloadEncoder encoder = new FloatEncoder(); IndexWriterConfig indexWriterConfig = new IndexWriterConfig(Version.LUCENE_4_10_4, new PayloadAnalyzer(encoder)); payloadSimilarity = new PayloadSimilarity(); indexWriterConfig.setSimilarity(payloadSimilarity); IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(dir, indexWriterConfig); [/code] and during searching: [code] IndexReader indexReader = DirectoryReader.open(dir); IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexReader); searcher.setSimilarity(payloadSimilarity); TermQuery termQuery = new TermQuery(new Term("body", "dogs")); termQuery.setBoost(1.1f); TopDocs topDocs = searcher.search(termQuery, 10); printResults(searcher, termQuery, topDocs); [/code] -- Dmitry Kan Luke Toolbox: http://github.com/DmitryKey/luke Blog: http://dmitrykan.blogspot.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/dmitrykan SemanticAnalyzer: www.semanticanalyzer.info
