Our index has some items in it which basically contain a title and a single word body.
If the user searches for a word in the title (especially if title is of itself only oen word) then that doc will get scored quite highly, despite the fact that, in this case, it's not really relevant. I've tried something like qf=title^2.0 content^0.5 bf=num_pages but that disproportionally boosts long documents to the detriment of relevancy bf=product(num_pages,0.05) has no effect but bf=product(num_pages,0.06) has a bunch of long documents which don't seem to return any highlighted fields plus the short document with only the query in the title which is progress in that it's almost exactly the opposite of what I want. Any suggestions? Am I going to need to reindex and add the length in bytes or characters of the document? Simon
