Hi Grant, Thank you for your help. My query is A AND B. The problem is if I use BooleanQuery, I got score 120 from TermQuery(A) and 0.5 from TermQuery(B) for the first article; for second article, I got score 27 from TermQuery(A) and 36 from TermQuery(B). From my point of view, I think the second article is better than the first one, however, the result is otherwise. I'm thinking to create a Query to multiply the score of A and B instead of sum. But I want to know if there is an existing query doing same thing since I'm still a new user to Lucene.

Is your query A + B meant to be A OR B or A AND B? That is, are both terms required? You notation suggests they are, but the description suggests you are getting documents that have only A in them, which suggests "OR". Have you looked at the explains? What about the scoring aren't you happy with? It's not perfect (there is no such thing) but it works pretty well in most cases, and works great if you spend a little time figuring out the right length normalization factors. > And I'm looking at the source code and found lots of classes are not > public and some important methods are protected.

Because there not meant to be overridden, but of course we are open to specific suggestions on things that should be made public and often do this when someone shows a valid reason.
