Hi, I am working on my doctoral dissertation in CS and am trying to use Lucene to do custom similarity measures, namely MMM (mixed, min and Max), Paice and p-norm and then compare those results to the traditional Boolean similarity and TF/IDF similarity. So far I have tried creating custom similarity, and scoring with no luck and right now I am able to pull the IDF value out of a search result but cannot for the life of me get the term frequency. Is there any way to create a custom similarity measure and run it for results or at least can you help me pull the term frequencies out so I can do the calculations myself? I am a C++ and VB programmer who hasn't programmed in years so my java is a bit juvenile but I am 6 months away from being down with this degree and really want to graduate with my class so I am in need of help ASAP!!!! I'm using Eclipse with Lucene 4.0 so I can check my results in Luke. Please help, Erin Colvin
