Hello, Currently in our index we have multiple fields and a <copyfield /> catch_all field. When users select all search options we specify the catch_all field as the field to search on. This has worked very well for our needs but a question was recently raised within our team regarding the difference between using a catch_all field and specifying a Boolean query by OR-ing all fields together. >From our own experimentation, we have observed that using those two different strategies we get back different results lists.
By looking at the Similarity class, we can understand how the score is calculated for the catch_all field but is there any input on how the score gets calculated for the Boolean query? Regards, - Savvas
