[Xapian-discuss] Modifying Result Relevance

[Mike Boone]

Hi, I'm running Xapian 0.8.3 via PHP. I've been running it successfully for
several months and it currently indexes 180,000 documents in one collection
and 67,000 in another.

My client has decided that he wants to give the highest relevance to
documents that contain the highest number of search terms, with no regard
for the document length or other factors. I don't really like that approach
but I do my best to keep them happy. Is there any way to accomplish this
search result scenario with Xapian? Perhaps with the weighting stuff, but I
seem to recall that it wasn't accessible from the PHP interface...is that
correct?

Thanks,
Mike.

(P.S. I've been reluctant to upgrade Xapian with all the PHP/SWIG discussion
going on...is it safe yet?)
