> As Doug Turnbull pointed out on the solr-user mailing list: [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/27590a2d8598be515b24f47f7912e074d2010910242cfdeb1fcd655d%40%3Csolr-user.lucene.apache.org%3E] (recommended reading, especially for his discussion of the limitations of the new sow=false request parameter), sow=false changes the queries edismax produces over multiple fields when any of the fields’ query-time analysis differs from the other fields’, e.g. if one field’s analyzer removes stopwords when another field’s doesn’t. In this case, rather than a dismax-query-per-whitespace-separated-term (edismax’s behavior when sow=true), a dismax query per field is produced. This can change results in general, but quite significantly when combined with the mm (min-should-match) request parameter: since min-should-match applies per field instead of per term, missing terms in one field’s analysis won’t disqualify docs from matching. E.g. query “Terminator 100” with request param “mm=100%” against both a title (text) field and a run_length (integer) field will result in the following queries:
>  When sow=true:
> {code:java}
> +(DisjunctionMaxQuery((title:terminator)) DisjunctionMaxQuery((run_length:[100 TO 100] | title:100)))~2{code}
> When sow=false:
> {code:java}
> +DisjunctionMaxQuery((run_length:[100 TO 100] | ((title:terminator title:100)~2))){code}
> In the above scenario, when sow=true (and in versions of Solr before 6.5), “terminator” must appear in documents in order to produce a match. But when sow=false, a document can match if its run_length field is 100, even when the title does not contain “terminator”.
> It is good to have an option to force term centric or query-centric matching at query parsing; so that expected behavior can be achieved; discussed under [http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Split-on-whitespace-parameter-doubt-td4404185.html].
