Hi, I am trying to debug a query to find out why one documentgets more score than the other. The below are two similar products.
Below is the debug results I get from Solr admin console. "Doc1": "\n15.20965 = sum of:\n 4.7573533 = max of:\n 4.7573533= weight(All:2x in 962) [], result of:\n 4.7573533 = score(doc=962,freq=2.0 =termFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 3.4598935 = idf(docFreq=1346, docCount=42836)\n 1.375 = tfNorm, computed from:\n 2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameter k1\n 0.0 = parameter b (norms omitted forfield)\n 10.452296 = max of:\n 5.9166136 = weight(All:powerpoint in 962)[], result of:\n 5.9166136 =score(doc=962,freq=2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 4.302992 = idf(docFreq=579,docCount=42836)\n 1.375 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 2.0 =termFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameterk1\n 0.0 = parameter b (normsomitted for field)\n 10.452296 =weight(All:\"socket outlet\" in 962) [], result of:\n 10.452296 = score(doc=962,freq=2.0 =phraseFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 7.60167 = idf(), sum of:\n 3.5370626 = idf(docFreq=1246, docCount=42836)\n 4.064607 = idf(docFreq=735,docCount=42836)\n 1.375 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 2.0 =phraseFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameterk1\n 0.0 = parameter b (normsomitted for field)\n", "Doc15":"\n13.258003 = sum of:\n 5.7317085 = max of:\n 5.7317085 = weight(All:doubl in 2122) [],result of:\n 5.7317085 =score(doc=2122,freq=2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 4.168515 = idf(docFreq=663,docCount=42874)\n 1.375 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 2.0 =termFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameterk1\n 0.0 = parameter b (normsomitted for field)\n 4.7657394 =weight(All:2x in 2122) [], result of:\n 4.7657394 = score(doc=2122,freq=2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n), productof:\n 3.4659925 =idf(docFreq=1339, docCount=42874)\n 1.375 = tfNorm, computed from:\n 2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n 1.2= parameter k1\n 0.0 = parameterb (norms omitted for field)\n 5.390302= weight(All:2g in 2122) [], result of:\n 5.390302 = score(doc=2122,freq=2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 3.9202197 = idf(docFreq=850,docCount=42874)\n 1.375 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameter k1\n 0.0 = parameter b (norms omitted forfield)\n 7.526294 = max of:\n 5.8597584 = weight(All:powerpoint in 2122)[], result of:\n 5.8597584 =score(doc=2122,freq=2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n), product of:\n 4.2616425 = idf(docFreq=604,docCount=42874)\n 1.375 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 2.0 = termFreq=2.0\n 1.2 = parameter k1\n 0.0 = parameter b (norms omitted forfield)\n 7.526294 =weight(All:\"socket outlet\" in 2122) [], result of:\n 7.526294 = score(doc=2122,freq=1.0 =phraseFreq=1.0\n), product of:\n 7.526294 = idf(), sum of:\n 3.4955401 = idf(docFreq=1300, docCount=42874)\n 4.030754 = idf(docFreq=761,docCount=42874)\n 1.0 = tfNorm,computed from:\n 1.0 =phraseFreq=1.0\n 1.2 = parameterk1\n 0.0 = parameter b (normsomitted for field)\n", My Questions 1. IDF : I understand from solr documents that IDFis calculated for each separate shards, I have added the following stats cacheconfig to solrconfig.xml and reloaded collection <statsCacheclass="org.apache.solr.search.stats.ExactStatsCache"/> But even after that there is no change incalculated IDF. 2. What are parameter b and parameter K1? 3. Why there are lots of parameters included in myDoc15 rather than Doc1? Is there any documentations I can refer to understand thesolr query calculations in depth. We are using Solr 6.1in Cloud with 3 zookeepers and 3 masters and 3 replicas. Regards, Lavanya
