Discussion on Typesense Raw and Altered Text Match Scores
TLDR Weilin requested that Typesense provide both raw and altered 'text match' scores for ranking. Jason asked for a GitHub issue and promised to address it next week. Kishore Nallan then clarified the current implementation already includes the raw score.

12:19 PMSo the score you see will already be the raw score. However, there is a bug in certain JSON implementations that truncate the value of the text match score, because it's a large 64-bit value. So in the 0.24 RC builds, we send the text match score as a string value in
text_match_info
object in the response for each hit.Sep 07, 2022 (12 months ago)
