: > .. Btw, I do not have an index, I have 1 Document, and 1 Query. : Lucene scoring - http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/scoring.html - uses : pre-computed statistics, location info, and the number of documents in the : index (1 in your case). So some preparation is required before a : (stand-alone) document can be scored against a query.
Doron's comments really just scratch the surface of a larger issue with your question: Lucene is not an API for evaluating how similar a "Document" is to a "Query", it's for finding Documents in a Corpus which match a Query, and (optionally) using the "Score" to know which Documnts match better then other docuemnts. For most of the various types of Queries that exist in Lucene, the score is very dependent on how common the Terms involved are in the Corpus as a whole -- if your Corpus consists of only 1 Document, then your scores are going to be relatively meaningless. Perhaps what you are interested in is more of an substring matching count? or an Edit Distance type calculation? ... can you give us a concrete example of what type of "score" you are looking for and what you mean when you say "Query" ? -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
