It's the similarity scoring formula.  EG see here:

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.

Hm, how is relevance then defined?
