MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org X-Spam-Rating: minotaur.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hi, Short documents bubble to the top of the results because the field length is short. Does anyone have a good strategy for working around this? Will doing something like log(document length) flatten out my results while still making them meaningful? I'm going to try some different approaches but any advice is appreciated. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscribe@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-help@lucene.apache.org
