Hi, My application needs to handle synonyms for courses. The most natural way to achieve this would be having the field "course" to be multivalued.
Now, say I add documents like: <document> <field name="professor">John Dane</field> <field name="course">Algorithms</field> <field name="course">Theory</field> <field name="course">Computability, Complexity and Algorithms</field> </document> <document> <field name="professor">Mary Arriaga</field> <field name="course">Algorithms for Pattern Matching</field> </document> Now, if I query for "Algorithms", I get a higher score for document 2 than document 1. 1) I have noticed that this is because length norm factor of lucene scoring considers all values of the mutivalued field, which is reducing the overall score of document 1. How can I avoid this? 2) Is there a alternate way to achieve what I want here? I can think of changing the schema of my index by making the field "course" as single-valued and creating separate documents for each synonym for a course. But wont that explode the index size. Any kind of help is appreciated.
