There is no inherent index-time boost, so this must be something else. Can you give us an example of a query? Which query parser do you use? > I read the posts below on "fieldNorm" and "omitNorms" but setting > "omitNorms=true" doesn't change anything for me on the calculation of > fieldNorm. Are you sure you have spelled omitNorms="true" correctly, then restarted Solr (to refresh config)? The effect of Norms on your score will be that shorter fields score higher than long fields. Perhaps you instead can try to tell us your use-case. What kind of raning are you trying to achieve? Then we can help suggest how to get there. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com
