1> Yes. Note that the distributed tf/idf is an issue, although it's changing.
That is, if your documents are statistically very different across
shards, the scores aren't really comparable. This is changing, but
I don't think it's committed yet.

hola,
1) When distributing search across several Shards, is the merged result
reflects the overall ranking, cross-shards?
I'm talking about stuff like "document frequency".
I guess it does, otherwise distributed search wouldn't have overhead.
talking about overhead,
2) is there a known ratio of t
