I think for "ordinary" Lucene queries, "score" and "relevance" mean the same thing.

But if you do eg function queries, or you "mixin" recency into your scoring, etc., then "score" could be anything you computed, a value from a field, etc.

Hi,

When I say: sorted by relevance or sorted by score -

are relevance and score synonym for each other or what is the difference in
relation to sorting?

Thank you
