bq: I hope that clears the confusion.
Nope, doesn't clear it up at all. It's not clear which query you're
talking about.... at least to me.
If you're searching for
name:tv AND name:promotion
and getting back a document that has only "tv" in the name field
that's simply wrong and you need to find out why.
If you're saying that searching for
name:tv OR name:promotion
returns both and that docs with both terms score higher, that's likely
true although it'll be fuzzy. I'm guessing that the name field is
fairly short so the length norm will be the sam and this will be
fairly reliable. If the field could have a widely varying number of
terms it's less reliable.
Best,
Erick
