You don't need to hack the code since you can virtually treated these scores 2.3518934 and 2.2173865 as if they were both equal (ignoring digits after the decimal point).
Score = original score(2.3518934) + function(date_created) You can scale the value of function(date_created) so that digits after the decimal point in the original score are not significantly influent the final score. E.g. To treat digits after decimal point *insignificant* Score = 2.3518934 + 10.00 = 12.3518934 To make those significant, make function(date_created) results in small number Score = 2.3518934 + 0.2 = 2.5518934 You can specify the function in the request URL (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery) -----Original Message----- From: Derek Springer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 8:39 Joe To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Query Response Doc Score -> Int Value Better yet, does anyone know where the method that writes the score lives? For instance, a getScore() method that writes the score out that I could override and truncate?
