Hi all, Recently, we are developing a platform with lucene. The ordering rule we specified is the document with the shortest distance between query terms ranks the first. But there may be a little different with SpanNearQuery. It returns all the documents with qualified distance. So I am confused with the ordering rule about SpanNearQuery. For example, I indicate the slot in SpanNearQuery is 10. And the results are all the qualified documents. Is it true that any document with shorter distance between query rand before the one with longer distance without considering the tf-idf algorithm? Or among all the qualified documents, it till uses tf-idf algorithm to rank the docs. Or there is some complex algorithm blending the distance and tf-idf algorithm. Thanks in advance.
