Are the score values generated in Solr relative to the index or are they
against an absolute standard?
Is it possible to create a scoring algorithm with this property? Are there
parts of the score inputs that are absolute?
My use case is this: I would like to do a parallel search against two Solr
indexes, and combine the results. The two indexes are built with the same
data sources, we just can't handle one giant index. If the score values are
against a common 'scale', then scores from the two search indexes can be
compared. I could combine the result sets with a simple merge by score.
This is a difficult concept to explain. I hope I have succeeded.
Thanks,
Lance
