I'm safely assuming that a single consistent algorithm is being used to compute the scores of each matching documents (with or without explicit boost factors in the query) and rank them accordingly. I would appreciate any pointer to such information, or your own description if you happen to know that. Thanks in advance. /Jong --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
