/**
 * Reduces the importance of the {@link #lengthNorm(FieldInvertState)} factor
 * for the {@link org.opencms.search.fields.CmsLuceneField#FIELD_CONTENT} field, while
 * keeping the Lucene default for all other fields.
 *
 * This implementation was added since apparently the default length norm is heavily biased
 * for small documents. In the default, even if a term is found in 2 documents the same number of
 * times, the smaller document (containing less terms) will have a score easily 3x as high as
 * the longer document. Using this implementation the importance of the term number is reduced.

 *
 * Inspired by Chuck Williams WikipediaSimilarity.
