Scores are 100% relative, and the number only has meaning in the context of that specific query. You cannot compare scores from one query to scores from another query done with different parameters, especially if it's using a different query parser, and expect those numbers to mean anything. The actual number is doesn't matter ... what matters is how the documents score compared to *each other* -- what order the documents have within a single result. Thanks, Shawn
