In addition to what Chris has correctly suggested, I would like to focus on this sentence : " I am decently certain that at one point in time it worked in a way that a higher match length would rank higher"
You mean a match in a longer field would rank higher than a match in a shorter field ? is that what you want ( because it is counter intuitive) ? Furthermore I see that some stemming is applied at query time , is that what you want ? ----- --------------- Alessandro Benedetti Search Consultant, R&D Software Engineer, Director Sease Ltd. - www.sease.io -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Same-score-for-different-length-matches-tp4343660p4343917.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
