exactly this. I wish they would update the relevance algorithms to use TFIDF and BM25. We've been praying for this for a long time.. and not really sure why they havent been implemented.

My guess would be because no developer with the skillet necessary has either been interested or been paid to do it.
It is an open source project at the end of the day, which means the features that get added are those that are wanted by either the developers or the sponsors, not the the general user base

Actually this might be a good idea for kickstarter if anyone with relevant experience is around :) I bet it would not be a problem to raise 200-300K for this

i would definitely contribute.
BTW - elastic.co is just going for an IPO. There's a lot of money in search!

Yeah for whatever advantages Elastic Search might have, I'd rather not read a 500 page book and then have to deal with dozens of potential security issues. I'd gladly have slightly less relevant search results in exchange for getting to use the same permissions system I use for all my other queries.
