Plucen...ilarity(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is Plucene::Search::Similarity — it's the whole vibe check for the score of a query 💅 it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, and yes bestie, the man page name got squished into Plucen...ilarity(3pm) which is honestly giving ✨elite truncation✨ but we move 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's the score of a query for a given document. that's the whole thing. no cap, that's the assignment and it ate 💖

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🎀 norm

my $norm = $sim->norm($num_term);

you hand it a $num_term and it hands you back the norm, and you store it in $norm like a good little main character 💅

🦋 byte_norm

my $byte_norm = $sim->byte_norm($byte);

same energy, but for a $byte — you get a $byte_norm back. lowkey iconic, highkey just a method 🧚

🔥 tf

Computes a score factor based on a term or phrase's frequency in a document.

like. how often does the thing show up? that's the tea, and tf is the one spilling it ⭐

🌈 idf

Computes a score factor for a phrase.

yep. a phrase. that's the whole description. short and it knows it 💜

💖 coord

Computes a score factor based on the fraction of all query terms that a document contains.

so if your query has a bunch of terms and the document only bothered to show up for some of them, coord is doing the math on that fraction. periodt 👑
