[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-3440) FastVectorHighlighter: IDF-weighted terms for ordered fragments

----------------------------------------

I think this is an interesting point of view, thanks! But I couldn't apply the patch to the latest trunk:

Can you verify that?

> The FastVectorHighlighter uses for every term found in a fragment an equal weight, which causes a higher ranking for fragments with a high number of words or, in the worst case, a high number of very common words than fragments that contains *all* of the terms used in the original query. 
> This patch provides ordered fragments with IDF-weighted terms: 
> total weight = total weight + IDF for unique term per fragment * boost of query; 
> The ranking-formula should be the same, or at least similar, to that one used in org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.QueryTermScorer.
> The patch is simple, but it works for us. 
> Some ideas:
> - A better approach would be moving the whole fragments-scoring into a separate class.
> - Switch scoring via parameter 
> - Exact phrases should be given a even better score, regardless if a phrase-query was executed or not
> - edismax/dismax-parameters pf, ps and pf^boost should be observed and corresponding fragments should be ranked higher
