Package org.opencms.search

Class CmsSearchSimilarity

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.Similarity

org.opencms.search.CmsSearchSimilarity

public class CmsSearchSimilarity
extends org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.Similarity

Reduces the importance of the computeNorm(FieldInvertState) factor for the CmsSearchField.FIELD_CONTENT field, while keeping the Lucene default for all other fields.

This implementation was added since apparently the default length norm is heavily biased for small documents. In the default, even if a term is found in 2 documents the same number of times, the smaller document (containing less terms) will have a score easily 3x as high as the longer document. Using this implementation the importance of the term number is reduced.

Inspired by Chuck Williams WikipediaSimilarity.

6.0.0
