Subject relevance ranking and scoring
Date Tue, 23 Jan 2007 21:05:47 GMT
I have 2 questions about the SOLR relevancy system.

1. Why is it when I search for an exact phrase of a title of a record I 
have it generally does not come up as the 1st record in the results?

ex: title:(gone with the wind), the record comes up 3rd.  A record with 
the term "wind" as the first word in the title comes up 1st.
ex: title:"gone with the wind", the record comes up 1st.

Is this because the word "wind" is the only noun?

2. The "score" that is associated with each value is quite odd, what 
does it represent.  I generally get results with the top record being 
somewhere around 3.0 or 2.0 and most records are below 1.


Thanks!
Andrew
