["m.harig" <m....@gmail.com>]

Hello all
                  i've a search application running on lucene-2.3.0 , say
for example am indexing 10 urls as an input , when am searching am not able
to get the expected result at the best ranking, i.e, unrelated hits are
coming up rather than related hits. I've been working this for a week. Could
anyone help me to improve my scoring for the search results..

                      Tell me which one make my results better  , Similarity
, Filter , Boost , please anyone help me , if possible anyone please explain

Hi,

As a starter, you might find http://www.lucidimagination.com/Community/Hear-from-the-Experts/Articles/Debugging-Relevance-Issues-Search 
  useful.

The key thing to do first is use Lucene's built in explain method to  
see why any particular document scores the way it does, then work from  
there.
