Ah, excellent. Thats how I thought it would work from the beginning.

Actually I figured out now that every single term in the xapian index 
has a wdf of 0, and because of that every single hit is considered 100% 
relevant.
I'm using xapian 0.9.9 and its a flint db, but I've probably caused this 
myself somewhere.
I'll see if I can figure out what I have done wrong before bothering you 
anymore. Probably something in my indexing script.
