Assuming i understand you correctly, then...
1. properties only exist as part of a single article (no articles share
a complex property)
2. you don't have any need to ever return searchese on
properties, they exist just to add in searching for articles.
IF that's correct, then the idea i w

Looking at what you wrote:
I am doing a weighting system where I rank documents that have Term 1 AND
Term 2 AND Term 3 more highly than documents that have just Term 1 AND Term
2, and more highly than documents that just have Term 1 OR Term 2 but not
both.

I did start doing this after sending the email. My only concern is search
speed. Right now I

Erm.. I have to be missing something here, wouldn't you be able just do
the following:
do a search on "Term 1" AND "Term 2"
do a search on "Term 2" AND "Term2" AND "Term 3"
This would ensure that you have two objects back, one of which is
guaranteed to be a subset of the other.
Then, when yo
What do you mean by "first"? Would you want to process a doc thatdid NOT
have a "Term 3"?
Let's say you have the following:
doc1: "Term 1"
doc2: "Term 2"
doc3: "Term 1" "Term 2"
doc4: "Term 3"
doc5: "Term 1" "Term 2" "Term 3"
doc6: "Term 2" "Term 3"
Which docs do you want to get from your search?
