Danny, Thank you for this.
The reindexer is enabled and the throttle is set to 5. It was reindexed, and I triggered it manually, just in case. Looked at the status summary to confirm that it happened. Happens quickly as the database is only 31MB. I have not declared a default namespace, so I assume I leave that field blank?

I changed the weight to 16 and just reindexed.
And _now_ I get what I expected!
<hit score="1080">'Cautio Criminalis' Or A Book On Witch Trials</hit>
<hit score="1080">'Cautio Criminalis' Or A Book On Witch Trials</hit>
<hit score="990">Witchcraft and the Papacy</hit>
<hit score="945">I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem</hit>
<hit score="855">Shaman of Oberstdorf</hit>
<hit score="855">Shaman of Oberstdorf</hit>
<hit score="855">"Evil People"</hit>
<hit score="765">With Paintbrush and Shovel</hit>
<hit score="765">Virginia Folk Legends</hit>
With a value of 99999, just an FYI, this query resulted in this:
for $hit at $count in cts:search(
collection(),
cts:word-query("witch")
)
return element hit {
attribute score { cts:score($hit) },
string($hit//b203)
}
=>
<hit score="1620">"Evil People"</hit>
<hit score="1620">Witchcraft and the Papacy</hit>
<hit score="1530">With Paintbrush and Shovel</hit>
<hit score="1530">Virginia Folk Legends</hit>
<hit score="1530">'Cautio Criminalis' Or A Book On Witch Trials</hit>
<hit score="1485">Shaman of Oberstdorf</hit>
<hit score="1485">I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem</hit>
Maybe there is a bug in the way the value is being rounded down?
Also, I referenced "13.1.3, Adding a Weight to Boost or Lower the Relevance of
an Included Element" in admin_guide and there is nothing documented about the
weighting range.
At any rate, thanks for your help!
Best,
Shannon
