: text in it, query is of the type "keywords:(word1 OR word2 ... OR wordN)". : The client is relying on default relevancy based sort returned by solr. : Some documents can get penalised because of some other documents which were : deleted. Is this functionality correct?
yes, because term stats are over the entire index including deleted documents still in segments -- information about deletions isn't "purged" from the index until a segment is merged and the stats are recomputed over the docs/terms in the new segment. the only way to get those types of statistics at request time such that they were *not* afected by deleted documents would involve scanning every doc to compute them -- which would defeat the point of having the inverted index. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
