Unless the content for both the docs is exactly the same it is highly unlikely that you will get the same score for the docs under different querying conditions. What you saw in the first case may have been a happy coincidence. Other than that it is very difficult to say why the scoring is different without getting a look at the actual query and the doc content.
If you still wish to dig deeper, try to understand how solr actually scores documents that match your query. It takes into account a variety of factors to compute the cosine similarity to find the best match. You can find this formula and a decent explanation for it in the book solr in action or online in the lucene docs: https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_5_0/api/core/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html On Tue, 22 Dec 2015, 11:10 elisabeth benoit <elisaelisael...@gmail.com> wrote: > hello, > > yes in the second case I get one document with a higher score. the relative > scoring between documents is not the same anymore. > > best regards, > elisabeth > > 2015-12-22 4:39 GMT+01:00 Binoy Dalal <binoydala...@gmail.com>: > > > I have one query. > > In the second case do you get two records with the same lower scores or > > just one record with a lower score and the other with a higher one? > > > > On Mon, 21 Dec 2015, 18:45 elisabeth benoit <elisaelisael...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > I don't think the query is important in this case. > > > > > > After checking out solr's debug output, I dont think the query norm is > > > relevant either. > > > > > > I think the scoring changes because > > > > > > 1) in first case, I have same slop for catchall and name fields.
