In a comparative analysis of BM25 and Lucene's default similarity model within Elasticsearch, using Wikipedia articles as a dataset, BM25 demonstrated superior performance in terms of precision and recall when matching document titles with their text. The experiment highlighted BM25's advantage, showing a lower percentage of documents not found and a higher average rank for desired documents compared to the default similarity. Despite the limitation of a 10-hit result size, which might skew traditional precision and recall metrics, the findings suggest BM25's potential for improved search relevance in practical applications. The analysis recommends that users conduct their own tests with specific datasets to determine the best similarity model for their needs, as the results aren't universally applicable but indicate that BM25 could offer significant benefits in certain cases.
