Sort Lucene query by best match?

[Jon Wynveen]

When doing a Lucene query (session.Advanced.LuceneQuery<>()), is there a way to sort results by which is the best match? Is there even any way to determine which are better matches than others?

[Itamar Syn-Hershko]

It is the default sort order, unless you set another, then this becomes the secondary sort order

There is a Temp-Index-Score metadata value sent for each result, this value tells you which result is "better" (higher the number, the higher the relevance is)

the default sort direction is descending (high to low) is it possible to sort "Temp-Index-Score" ascending (from low to high) through the HTTP-API?

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

No, that would mean that you would find the best matches last.
