No, this is incorrect. In the 3.2 code, you must store every word,
regardless of what type of _factor it is. Otherwise, you can't do
dynamic scoring.

I don't remember this at all. But it's most certainly a bug in the
current htsearch/parser.cc code--I suspect it doesn't check if a word
match has a zero scoring factor before it adds it to the list.
Scoring is done in a separate step at which point the document is
already added to the result list. (IIRC)
The htsearch query parser needs to be replaced by Quim's new code. I
don't have the time for at least a month to do this, but would be
glad to walk anyone through what needs to be done (I suspect it won't
be too difficult).
