Q: 

Solr search score in the range from 0 to 1

Hi,

Is it possible to configure Solr so that the document similarity score would be in the range for example from 0 (no match) to 1 (complete document and query match).

Thanks!

A: 

No, tf-idf doesn't work like that, and conceptually search doesn't really work like that. How would one define a 'complete match'?
