Hi Rajesh, I've been seeing the same problem you have. My debug scores seem to be what I expect, but the actual scores applied by Solr are sometimes divided by an integer.
I raised the same question in this email distribution about a week ago, but haven't yet found a solution. There's also a StackOverflow question I created here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35921106/how-and-why-do-solr-explain-values-differ-from-the-solr-score Can you verify whether all of your affected scores are (1/N)*score? I think N seems to be the number of OR elements in the query. For example, your case below has debug_score/score = 1.2517526/0.41725087 = 3 Thanks, -Rick ---------------------------------------- > From: r...@cebglobal.com > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: RE: Explain score is different from score > Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 13:29:14 +0000 > > Can someone help? > > > > > Corporate Executive Board India Private Limited.
