[jira] Reopened: (LUCENE-2557) FuzzyQuery - fuzzy terms and

Robert,
I posted a comment just before your one (apparently in the same minute) - I made an additional point that TopTermsBoostOnlyBooleanQueryRewrite ignores the IDF undesirably - does that make the issue valid again?

> Key: LUCENE-2557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2557
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query/Scoring
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Reporter: Jingkei Ly
> Attachments: idf-scoring-test-case.patch

> The FuzzyQuery often causes misspellings to be ranked higher than the exact match, which seems to be an undesirable property generally.
> For example, in an index of surnames, if I search using a FuzzyQuery for "smith", the misspellings such as "smiith", or "smiht" would appear near the top of the search results ahead of documents that match "smith".
