[Xapian-discuss] Higher weight on exact matches when doing wild card search

[Thore Harald Høye]

Hi

I am working on a search which needs wild card support. Unfortunately 
this makes some searches for short words return bad results, because 
they match a lot of words that aren't related to what the user actually 
wants. I'm wondering if there's a good way to make specific matches get 
a higher weight than longer words?

Example: when search for car, documents containing car are more relevant 
than documents only containing carcass.

Thanks.
