Search results for an artist shows a “score” in the first column. Is there some information somewhere about how this is calculated?
Searching for “Bob Marley” results in Bob Marley the comedian getting a score of 100 whereas the much more well known Bob Marley the Jamaican reggae artist gets a score of 99. Not very different, I agree, but I am writing an app that makes use of the score and it would help to know how it is calculated so that I interpret the data in an appropriate way.
Scores of 98 and 100 are “practically the same”. How Lucene arrives at these numbers, based on the artist name, artist credits, aliases, etc., is anyone’s guess.
