: I'm returning the document plus hits.score(i) * 100 but when the NOTE: the score returned by Hits is not a "percentage" ... it is an arbitrary number less then 1. it might be the "raw score" of the document or it might be the result of dividing the "raw score" by the "raw score" of the highest scoring document, if hte raw score of the highest scoring document is greater then 1
(kinda silly huh?) basically it's just a way to ensure you always have a number less then 1 -- but a score of 0.9 from one query isn't neccessarily better then a score of 0.1 from another query.

Even if you change the subject line of your email, other mail headers still track which thread you replied to and your question is "hidden" in that thread and gets less attention. It makes following discussions in the mailing list archives particularly difficult.
