I guess i don't udnerstand what your point was ... you mentioned that
using a function query with *:* didn't produce scores that equal to
the
function output, but that's just the nature of how a BooleanQuery
works,
it aggregates the clauses. if you *want* the scores to be a factor of
both clauses, then use a booleanQuery, if you have a clause that you
don't
want factoring into the query, use "fq"
Fair enough, I guess I was just kind of expecting a constant score
query + a function query to result in a score of whatever the function
query is. This is a common trick to sort by a function, but it's easy
enough to just ^0 the non function clause.
