Thanks Erick, I'm not sure I need to score the documents based on the numeric value, but I am interested in being able to calculate the average (Mean) of all the numeric values for a given tag. For example, what is the average confidence of Tag1 across all documents.
I'm not sure I can do that without building a FunctionQuery. -Dave On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 12:46 PM, Erick Erickson <erickerick...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmmm, there's no particular "right way".
