Hi, I am using Lucene 2.4.1 via Pylucene and have encountered the following behavior: When there are deleted documents in the index the search scores are identical to those that exist had those documents not been deleted. If I optimize the index and the deleted documents are actually removed, the the scoring is the same as if those documents were never indexed at all.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? Optimization is not a feasible option for my use where there are as many indexing actions as searching, and they are mixed.
