Hi there,

consider the following response extract for a MoreLikeThis request:

<result name="match" numFound="1" start="0" maxScore="13.4579935">
<result name="response" numFound="103708" start="0"
maxScore="4.1711807">

The first result element is the document that was input and for which to
return "more like this" results.
The second result element contains the results returned by the handler.

As they both come with a different maxScore I was wondering whether I
could safely use the match's maxScore to normalize the scores of the
"more like this" documents.

Would that allow to reflect to the user the quality/relevancy of the
hits for different MoreLikeThis requests (and only those)?
(What does the match's maxScore mean?)

Thanks!
Chantal
