I don't understand what you mean with "first 'chunk' of terms from a field". I actually tried to implement this method, but unfortunately I face yet another problem. Document 1: Title-1: Rijksmuseum Title-2: Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Document 2: Title-1: Amsterdam Title-2: NLAMS Document 1 gets the higher score in this case (when I do a search on 'Amsterdam'). The reason is that the term 'Amsterdam' has a higher docFreq in Title-1 than in Title-2 (as Title-2 is only seldom used). I think if I combine your .setOmitNorms(true) suggestion with this second suggestion it may actually work - that will be my next attempt. bye, /gst
