Re: thresholding results by percentage drop from maxScore in lucene/solr

Mike,

why don't order by the number of found items in your facet? If you get too
many facets, just throw those away that got the smallest value, if you got
not enough place for them.
I suggest that, because you don't know every search-case.

Sometimes the user does not really know what he is searching for or how to
make his search more special and faceting helps him to navigate over a
search-result. 

Just some thoughts. :-)

Re: thresholding results by percentage drop from maxScore in lucene/solr

I am curious:
What is your usecase or what type of data is this? Web-Pages? Blog-posts?
Product-items?

Can you provide some real examples so that we can discuss other ideas than
doing it by the score?
Because I think this is not possible or really difficult to achieve, since
you don't know what the highest score will be, until every document that
match the query is found.

Kind regards
