Field Detail

### discountOverlaps

    protected boolean discountOverlaps

Constructor Detail

### DefaultSimilarity

    public DefaultSimilarity()

Method Detail

### computeNorm

    public float computeNorm(String field,
                             FieldInvertState state)

  Implemented as `state.getBoost()*lengthNorm(numTerms)`, where `numTerms` is `FieldInvertState.getLength()` if `setDiscountOverlaps(boolean)` is false, else it's `FieldInvertState.getLength()` - `FieldInvertState.getNumOverlap()`.

  Specified by:
    `computeNorm` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `field` - field name
    `state` - current processing state for this field
  Returns:
    the calculated float norm
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

### queryNorm

    public float queryNorm(float sumOfSquaredWeights)

  Implemented as `1/sqrt(sumOfSquaredWeights)`.

  Specified by:
    `queryNorm` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `sumOfSquaredWeights` - the sum of the squares of query term weights
  Returns:
    a normalization factor for query weights

### tf

    public float tf(float freq)

  Implemented as `sqrt(freq)`.

  Specified by:
    `tf` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `freq` - the frequency of a term within a document
  Returns:
    a score factor based on a term's within-document frequency

### sloppyFreq

    public float sloppyFreq(int distance)

  Implemented as `1 / (distance + 1)`.

  Specified by:
    `sloppyFreq` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `distance` - the edit distance of this sloppy phrase match
  Returns:
    the frequency increment for this match
  See Also:
    `PhraseQuery.setSlop(int)`

### idf

    public float idf(int docFreq,
                     int numDocs)

  Implemented as `log(numDocs/(docFreq+1)) + 1`.

  Specified by:
    `idf` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `docFreq` - the number of documents which contain the term
    `numDocs` - the total number of documents in the collection
  Returns:
    a score factor based on the term's document frequency

### coord

    public float coord(int overlap,
                       int maxOverlap)

  Implemented as `overlap / maxOverlap`.

  Specified by:
    `coord` in class `Similarity`
  Parameters:
    `overlap` - the number of query terms matched in the document
    `maxOverlap` - the total number of terms in the query
  Returns:
    a score factor based on term overlap with the query

### setDiscountOverlaps

    public void setDiscountOverlaps(boolean v)

  Determines whether overlap tokens (Tokens with 0 position increment) are ignored when computing norm. By default this is true, meaning overlap tokens do not count when computing norms.

  See Also:
    `computeNorm(java.lang.String, org.apache.lucene.index.FieldInvertState)`
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

### getDiscountOverlaps

    public boolean getDiscountOverlaps()

  See Also:
    `setDiscountOverlaps(boolean)`
