## Class Similarity.SimScorer

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

- Enclosing class:
    Similarity

      public abstract static class Similarity.SimScorer
      extends Object

  API for scoring "sloppy" queries such as `TermQuery`, `SpanQuery`, and `PhraseQuery`.

  Frequencies are floating-point values: an approximate within-document frequency adjusted for "sloppiness" by `computeSlopFactor(int)`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### score

          public abstract float score(int doc,
                                      float freq)

      Score a single document
      Parameters:
        `doc` - document id within the inverted index segment
        `freq` - sloppy term frequency
      Returns:
        document's score

    - #### computeSlopFactor

          public abstract float computeSlopFactor(int distance)

      Computes the amount of a sloppy phrase match, based on an edit distance.

    - #### computePayloadFactor

          public abstract float computePayloadFactor(int doc,
                                                     int start,
                                                     int end,
                                                     BytesRef payload)

      Calculate a scoring factor based on the data in the payload.

    - #### explain

          public Explanation explain(int doc,
                                     Explanation freq)

      Explain the score for a single document
      Parameters:
        `doc` - document id within the inverted index segment
        `freq` - Explanation of how the sloppy term frequency was computed
      Returns:
        document's score
