Hello, I have just come across the same situation at our index.

Search for:
black house
(without quotes) and several items with multiple occurrence of 'black' but without any 'house' come before items with one occurrence of 'black' and one 'house'.

It seems that ferret ranks higher items with multiple single term occurrences than items which have all terms but each term only once. Is this true? How could this be changed, without changing query - some indexing option maybe?

Hi John

I just tried it (ORing the words) again with some real records to give
you an example, and it worked, embarrassingly (for me).  It's that
verdammt observer effect, when something start working the moment you
get someone else to look at it.

I guess i had some kind of brainwrong when trying it earlier.

thanks a lot anyway
max
