[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2953) Introducing hit Count as an
alternative to score
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2953?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13164386#comment-13164386 ]
Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-2953:
--------------------------------------
Can you make a patch and upload it? See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Generating_a_patch
Then people can take a look and see how you implemented it and discuss.

> As of now we have score as relevancy factor for a query against a document, and this score is relative to the number of documents in the index. In the same way why not have some other relevancy feature say "hitCounts" which is absolute for a given doc and a given query, It shouldn't depend on the number of documents in the index. This will help a lot for the frequently changing indexes , where the search rules are predefined along the relevancy factor for a document to be qualified for that query(search rule).
> Ex: consider a use case where a list of queries are formed with a threshold number for each query and these are searched on a frequently updated index to get the documents that score above the threshold i.e. when a document's relevancy factor crosses the threshold for a query the document is said to be qualified for that query.
> For the above use case to satisfy the score shouldn't change every time the index gets updated with new documents. So we introduce new feature called "hitCount" which represents the relevancy of a document against a query and it is absolute(won't change with index size).
> This hitCount is a positive integer and is calculated as follows
> Ex: Document with text "the quick fox jumped over the lazy dog, while the lazy dog was too lazy to care"
> 1. for the query "lazy AND dog" the hitCount will be == (no of occurrences of "lazy" in the document) + (no of occurrences of "dog" in the document) => 3+2 => 5
> 2. for the phrase query \"lazy dog\" the hitCount will be == (no of occurrences of exact phrase "lazy dog" in the document) => 2
> This will be very useful as an alternative scoring mechanism.
> I already implemented this whole thing in the Solr source code(that I downloaded) and we are using it. So far it's going good.
> It would be really great if this feature is added to trunk (original Solr) so that we don't have to implement the changes every time a new version is released and also others could be benefited with this.
