: my field category (string) has omitNorms=True and omitTermFreqAndPositions=True. : i have indexed all docs but when i do a search like: : http://xxx:xxx/solr/select/?q=category:A&debugQuery=on : i see there's normalization and idf and tf. Why? i can't understand the reason.
those options ensure that that information isn't calculated and stored in your index, so they don't affect searches, but the debugging code still shows where the norms/tf (which don't exist for those fields) are part of the score calculation. You'll note thta they are always "1" in this debug info, making them No-Ops in the multiplication... : 8.676225 = (MATCH) fieldWeight(category:A in 826), product of: : 1.0 = tf(termFreq(category:A)=1) : 8.676225 = idf(docFreq=6978, maxDocs=15049953) : 1.0 = fieldNorm(field=category, doc=826) -Hoss
