The example in the wiki is incorrect I guess, it should have used a filter query. You can see how the query is parsed using debugQuery=on. My guess is that q=field:value _val_:5 is being evaluated as an or between the term query and the function query. That is why documents matching the term query are ranked higher due to the tf-idf score. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
