I've been trying to understand how idf is arrived at from a query. I have a single Document with 9 fields. One field "subject" has the phrase "RFC2822 - Internet Message Format" and a second "body" has the contents of rfc2822.

The other fields contain additional meta data. If I search for subject:message I get the following explanation.

0.15342641 = fieldWeight(subject:message in 0), product of:
  1.0 = tf(termFreq(subject:message)=1)
  0.30685282 = idf(docFreq=1)
  0.5 = fieldNorm(field=subject, doc=0)

why does the idf get that value?
Antony
