The best way to get started with answering this is to pass the &debugQuery=true and to scroll down the results page. Here, you will see a breakdown of how the query you entered in the q field is being parsed and sent to lucene via the pf,qf, and bf. You can also see how the weights affect the different score and why one document was ranked higher than another.
The text of the query will be analyzed depending on the set of analyzers assigned to that particular field for queries (as opposed to indexing). For example, if "test" is matched against a "string" vs "text" field, different analyzers may be applied to "string" or "text" Hope that helps Amit On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 4:39 AM, Andrew Clegg <andrew.cl...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Morning, > > Can someone clarify how dismax queries work under the hood?
