Calculate query weights and build query scorers.

A Weight is constructed by a query Query->createWeight(). The sumOfSquaredWeights() method is then called on the top-level query to compute the query normalization factor Similarity->queryNorm(float). This factor is then passed to normalize(float). At this point the weighting is complete.

 Methods

The weight for this query.

getValue() : float

Returns

float

Assigns the query normalization factor to this.

normalize(float $norm) 

Parameters

$norm

float

The sum of squared weights of contained query clauses.

sumOfSquaredWeights() : float

Returns

float

 Properties

 

Normalization factor.

$_queryNorm : float

Default

This value is stored only for query expanation purpose and not used in any other place

 

Weight value

$_value : float

Default

Weight value may be initialized in sumOfSquaredWeights() or normalize() because they both are invoked either in Query::_initWeight (for top-level query) or in corresponding methods of parent query's weights
