MYNORMALIZE
Name
MAXNORMALIZE
Synopsis
Recomputes all hits for a term or subquery so that their weights fall between 0-1.
Arguments
Bias value
Term or Subquery
Ranking Scheme
weight = weight / bias value The weights are recalculated by dividing each hit's weight by the bias value which you pass in.
Comments
MYNORMALIZE is designed to help you put weights between 0 and 1. Typically this is done as the last step of your query when you have used weights that were larger than 1. This can occur when biasing terms to make them more relevant than terms which already had a weight of 1.
Effectively all that MYNORMALIZE does is modify each weight by the amount you specify.
Example
MYNORMALIZE( 0.7, 'blue' );
