Hi Kelly, Thanks for your response. I am using ML4. Can you point to the doc
on how to boost relevance scores? I have read the documentation but couldn't
find details on how to do this.

* Changing document quality is not preferred. How to determine how much of
document quality should be inputed to achieve the desired order results
between the two content set

* Length of document based tuning might be more appropriate - If you can
point to some docs it will help.

Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh TR.
