The main scoring function seems to be index_builder<data_record>::calculate_score_for_record() in line 296 of https://github.com/alexandria-org/alexandria/blob/main/src/i..., and it mentions support for BM25 (Spärck Jones, Walker and Robertson, 1976) and TFIDF (Spärck Jones, 1972) term weighting, pointing to the respective Wikipedia pages.
