Hi Paul,I think your assumption is correct - Ferret by default sorts by score, and by specifying an alternative sorting you replace that default sorting with something else.

I am using document boosting (following Jens' suggestion here: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/84358) but am also trying to sort thereturned results, so I was using the :sort option. In my testing, using a wildcard search, it appears that using the :sort option causes Ferretto ignore document boosts and just return the first N hits it finds bylooking alphabetically. Is that the expected behavior? If I want the Nmost relevant documents, do I need to sort them myself after getting them from Ferret?
