: It seems like the debug information is using the custom similarity as it : should - the bug isn't there. : I see in the explain information the right tf value (I modified it to be 1 : in my custom similarity). : The numbers in the explain seem to add up and make sense. : Is it possible that the score itself is wrong (the one that I get from fl)?
the score in the doclist is by definition the correct score - the debug info follows a differnet code path and sometimes that code path isn't in sink with the the actual searching/scoring code for differnet query types (although i was pretty confident that the test i added to Lucene-Java a whle back tested this for anything you can see in Solr without getting into crazy contrib Query classes) it would help if you could post: 1) the full debugQuery output from a query where you see this disconnect, showing the all query toString info, and the score explanations 2) the corrisponding scores you see in the doclist 3) some more details about how your custom similarity works (can you post the code) 4) info on how you've configured dismax and what request params you are using (the output from using echoParams=all would be good) -Hoss
