Hi Chris, Thank you for the reply. okay understood about *fieldWeight*.
I am actually curious to know how are the documents sequenced in this case when the product of tf idf and fieldnorm is same for both the documents? Afaik, at the first step, documents are sequenced based on fieldWeight(product of tf idf and fieldnorm) order by desc[correct?]. But if both are same then what is the next factor taken in consideration to sequence? In the below case , why doc 1 is come first and then doc2 when both scores are same. : 1.0469098 =, : *(MATCH) fieldWeight(title:updated in 7), * : product of: 1.0 = tf(termFreq(title:updated)=1), 2.7917595 = idf(docFreq=2, : maxDocs=18), 0.375 = fieldNorm(field=title, doc=7) : : 1.0469098 =, : *(MATCH) fieldWeight(title:updated in 9), * : product of: 1.0 = tf(termFreq(title:updated)=1), 2.7917595 = idf(docFreq=2, : maxDocs=18), 0.375 = fieldNorm(field=title, doc=7) Thanks - David On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 12:23 PM, Chris Hostetter <hossman_luc...@fucit.org>wrote: > > : In the explain tag (debugQuery=true) > : what does the *fieldWeight* value refer to?, > > fieldWeight is just a label being put on the the product of the tf, idf, > and fieldNorm for that term.
