Is lucene score is relative?

Hi all,
We want to implement lucene.net in our product and I was wondering about
the scoring. Is it relative to the content in the index or is it "absolute"?
This is important to us because we are considering creating several indexes
when crawl and index and search all of them (or some) and combine the
results. If the score is absolute we can do it this way.

Thanks,
Omri

No real way of doing that, if you want scoring to be reliable use one index

Thanks, Itamar.
So there is a way to combine results from 2 indexes or we have to index
everything one the same index?

The score has only meaning within the same query on one index. You cannot
rely on it for sorting between queries or indexes
