Damn...I was obfuscated seeing the 14 there...I had naively thought that
term freq would not be stored in the doc, 1 would be stored, but I guess it
still stores the real value and then applies custom similarity at query
time.
That means changing to a custom similarity does not need reindexing right?
thanks for the help!
