## Class BooleanSimilarity

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.Similarity
  - - org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.BooleanSimilarity

-     public class BooleanSimilarity
      extends Similarity

  Simple similarity that gives terms a score that is equal to their query boost. This similarity is typically used with disabled norms since neither document statistics nor index statistics are used for scoring. That said, if norms are enabled, they will be computed the same way as `SimilarityBase` and `BM25Similarity` with `discounted overlaps` so that the `Similarity` can be changed after the index has been created.

    - #### computeNorm

          public long computeNorm(FieldInvertState state)

      Description copied from class: `Similarity`
      Computes the normalization value for a field, given the accumulated state of term processing for this field (see `FieldInvertState`).

      Matches in longer fields are less precise, so implementations of this method usually set smaller values when `state.getLength()` is large, and larger values when `state.getLength()` is small.

      Specified by:
        `computeNorm` in class `Similarity`
      Parameters:
        `state` - current processing state for this field
      Returns:
        computed norm value

    - #### computeWeight

          public Similarity.SimWeight computeWeight(CollectionStatistics collectionStats,
                                                    TermStatistics... termStats)

      Description copied from class: `Similarity`
      Compute any collection-level weight (e.g. IDF, average document length, etc) needed for scoring a query.
      Specified by:
        `computeWeight` in class `Similarity`
      Parameters:
        `collectionStats` - collection-level statistics, such as the number of tokens in the collection.
        `termStats` - term-level statistics, such as the document frequency of a term across the collection.
      Returns:
        SimWeight object with the information this Similarity needs to score a query.

    - #### simScorer

          public Similarity.SimScorer simScorer(Similarity.SimWeight weight,
                                                LeafReaderContext context)
                                         throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `Similarity`
      Creates a new `Similarity.SimScorer` to score matching documents from a segment of the inverted index.
      Specified by:
        `simScorer` in class `Similarity`
      Parameters:
        `weight` - collection information from `Similarity.computeWeight(CollectionStatistics, TermStatistics...)`
        `context` - segment of the inverted index to be scored.
      Returns:
        SloppySimScorer for scoring documents across `context`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if there is a low-level I/O error
