Making capitalization significant
Is there a way to arrange indexing and searching so that when searching
for "Lucene", the term "Lucene" would be given more boost than the term
"lucene", and ideally "lucene" would have more boost than "LUCENE"?

ignoring fileds in score calculation
Posted by Harpreet S Walia <ha...@sansuisoftware.com>.
Hi ,
I have the following quries :
1. Is there a way to ignore certain fields while score calculation ?
2. Does putting extra braces in the query affect the search results /score
. i.e is the query "india" any different from "( (india) )" ?
TIA
Regards,
Harpreet

Use an analyzer that keeps the original case for indexing and query eg. like
this:
Lucene^10 lucene^8 LUCENE^6
You want different weights per term, and you can't influence these directly
in the index. Therefore you'll have to query with different term weights.
A problem arises when there are 100 documents mentioning Lucene, and
one document mentioning LUCENE. With the above query, the LUCENE document
will likely get the highest score.
So you'll have to adapt the weights in the query by using the scoring formula
and correcting for the nrs of documents containing each of the terms.
You can get these from IndexReader.docFreq().
And you'll have to do that for each casing of the queried term, ie.
2 ** (length of term) times, skipping the ones having zero frequency.
Kind regards,
Ype
