I'd briefly thought about this same issue (for the same reason), but didn't see an easy way to plug in a different scoring algorithm. You can always add the log of the score versus doing a multiplication, but that would still involve a lot of source code changes. -- Ken -- Ken Krugler Krugle, Inc. +1 530-210-6378 "Find Code, Find Answers" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
