[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1534) idf(t) is not actually squared during scoring?

["Mark Miller (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1534?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12669663#action_12669663 ] 

Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1534:
-------------------------------------

hmmm...we do multiply it in twice, but a bit happens in between - we multiply by idf(t) in sumOfSquaredWeights()  and then again in normalize(float queryNorm).

Technically that is boost * idf(t) * norm * idf(t), right? For idf(t)^2 * boost * norm? And then that times tf in the scorer...

> show idf(t) as being squared when computing net query score.  But I
> don't think it is actually squared, in looking at the sources?  Maybe
> it used to be, eg this interesting discussion:

> Or am I missing something?  We just need to fix the javadocs to take
> away the "squared"...
