: I've been using the solr admin form with debug=true to do some in-depth
: analysis on some results. Could someone explain how to make sense of
: this..This is the debugging info for the first result i got.

there's more to the debugging info then just what's below ... this is 
known as a "score explanation" understanding it requires a pretty in depth 
understanding of the lucene scoring model, which has somme good 
documentation online...

        http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/scoring.html

...once you read up on the concepts that go into the scoring formula, 
making sense of the score explanations is just a matter of paying careful 
attention to the indenting, and doing the math (6.2467875 = the maximum 
value of the values indented one level below it, plus 0.01 times the sum 
of the other values one indent level below it; etc...)

there's a few slides that cover the "nutshell" of score explanations 
towards the end of my apachecon slides...
