public DefaultSimilarity()

Method Detail

computeNorm

public float computeNorm(String field,
                         FieldInvertState state)

Implemented as state.getBoost()*lengthNorm(numTerms), where numTerms is FieldInvertState.getLength() if setDiscountOverlaps(boolean) is false, else it's FieldInvertState.getLength() - FieldInvertState.getNumOverlap().

Specified by:

computeNorm in class Similarity

Parameters:

field - field name

state - current processing state for this field

Returns:

the calculated float norm

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

queryNorm

public float queryNorm(float sumOfSquaredWeights)

Implemented as 1/sqrt(sumOfSquaredWeights).

Specified by:

queryNorm in class Similarity

Parameters:

sumOfSquaredWeights - the sum of the squares of query term weights

Returns:

a normalization factor for query weights

tf

public float tf(float freq)

Implemented as sqrt(freq).

Specified by:

tf in class Similarity

Parameters:

freq - the frequency of a term within a document

Returns:

a score factor based on a term's within-document frequency

sloppyFreq

public float sloppyFreq(int distance)

Implemented as 1 / (distance + 1).

Specified by:

sloppyFreq in class Similarity

Parameters:

distance - the edit distance of this sloppy phrase match

Returns:

the frequency increment for this match

See Also:

PhraseQuery.setSlop(int)

idf

public float idf(int docFreq,
                 int numDocs)

Implemented as log(numDocs/(docFreq+1)) + 1.

Specified by:

idf in class Similarity

Parameters:

docFreq - the number of documents which contain the term

numDocs - the total number of documents in the collection

Returns:

a score factor based on the term's document frequency

coord

public float coord(int overlap,
                   int maxOverlap)

Implemented as overlap / maxOverlap.

Specified by:

coord in class Similarity

Parameters:

overlap - the number of query terms matched in the document

maxOverlap - the total number of terms in the query

Returns:

a score factor based on term overlap with the query

setDiscountOverlaps

public void setDiscountOverlaps(boolean v)

Determines whether overlap tokens (Tokens with 0 position increment) are ignored when computing norm. By default this is true, meaning overlap tokens do not count when computing norms.

See Also:

computeNorm(java.lang.String, org.apache.lucene.index.FieldInvertState)

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

getDiscountOverlaps

public boolean getDiscountOverlaps()
