Thank you Yonik,
I haven't seen that maxScore you're speaking about. It's exactly what I
needed.
Cheers,

A silly question, but I think the subject isn't cover on the Solr wiki :
I'd like to use the score returned by Solr to give the user an estimation
of
the response adequacy to his request (ok, that's what the score is
for...).
But I cannot figure the meaning of this score : is it a precentage of the
response relevancy ? is it absolute, or relative to others given response
?
Is it the raw Lucene score (perhaps I'm wrong but it doesn't seems it is
in
my case) ? Is there a way to obtain a meaningful score ( ie: human
readable
) ?
It's the raw lucene score. Some lucene functions normalize the score
by dividing all scores by the top score in matching documents, if that
top score is greater than 1. Solr also returns maxScore so you can do
the same if you desire.
