How to do relevancy ranking in lucene
Hi all,
Am using lucene 2.3.2.
When i search using lucene demo am getting all the results which contains the query. But i would like to restrict my results to the relevant match and not all the documents containing the query string.
Ex:
Query: how to search a string?
Response am getting is: all documents containing words - search, string
Desired response: I would like to compare the documents that contains both the words and the documents that contains anyone word of the query string - to find the relevant documents.
Kindly suggest me as how i should proceed and the details regarding this context.
Urgent help needed.
Thanks in advance for the timely help.

Hmmm, I don't know the underlying scoring code well enough to answer
off the top of my head. But if you have the source code, I'd examine
the junit tests (the class names should give you a strong hint) and
start from there.

I don't really understand your goal here. Lucene already does this with
it's relevancy ranking. By definition, it calculates a score for each
document and ranks them in order of the score. This is NOT a simple
"is the word in the document or not"....
You can read about the scoring algorithm here:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_1_0/scoring.html
If this is way off base, can you give us some details of why
the current ranking doesn't fit your needs?
