Hi Archana,

Yes, the 'p' attribute is positional information. That list is indicating
that the term occurs on the 0th and 43rd positions in the document, and is
0-indexed. Not sure why you are getting two positions if the word only
occurred once. What was the original query?

The scoring information that you see is a bug. For now, as a workaround, you
can add the scores together. This will give you a *relative* score, allowing
you to rank results for the current query.

To fix this issue, some processing needs to happen within riak to combine
and normalize the scores into a final score that can be used for correct
ranking against other queries as well. (This is being done for the Solr
interface, but not the Map/Reduce interface.) Riak Search models scoring
after Lucene as much as possible, so you can read this for more information
about scoring, especially the final normalization step:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html

This issue is tracked in https://issues.basho.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1154

Best,
Rusty
