I assume you mean that the set of matches is hte same, but the scores (and possibly the order) are different correct?
The IndexSearcher.explain methods should help make the reason clear -- compare the output for each query when looking at the same docIds. I suspect what you'll find is that with the low boost values, the fieldNorms become more significant resulting in a change of order. : Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 16:41:52 -0500 : From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Reply-To: java-user@lucene.apache.org, Charlie Zhao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: java-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: strange behavior 4 query term boost : : Hello, : : I don't understand why the following two queries give totally different results. : : term1^5 term2^6 term3^7 : : term1^0.0005 term2^0.0006 term3^0.0007 : : Can anyone explain?
