Customized missing column for computed score

[adilger]

I was using the custom field display, and it appears that there is no column showing the computed score for the results:

This makes it hard to compare beyond the ordering based on the score.

Not a critical issue, but something to fix when you get a chance.

@adilger this has been fixed in the jbez mirror. Could you please try again?

Jean, thanks for the update. I see the custom score now.

One thing that this now exposes is that the value of the custom equation is not being calculated correctly in all cases.

For example, if the divisor is zero because the fields are unset then it appears to be using the fields from the previous entry in the list:

In the Shaheen case, the divisor is 4, which also appears to be the value from the previous entry in the list.

It isn't clear to me whether the calculated result should be "infinity" in this case, and ranked at the top of the list, or if it should be excluded completely? In the VI4IO ranking, I was able to multiply the zero in the numerator, so the result was zero before dividing by zero (NaN) which ranked at the end of the list. It would be nice to have a checkbox like "exclude invalid results" (i.e. Inf and NaN), or allow booleans like "( information_ds_nodes + information_md_nodes > 0 ) *" so the result is multiplied by 0 if the expression isn't true.

@jeanbez looks like Andreas has a request here so we can't close this one yet maybe?

Closing this issue, since the original issue was addressed. I've opened issue #73 to track the second issue.
