Are ypu saying that you've tried it with wordlist_compress set to 
false and you *don't* see this behavior?

Actually, I think this may be an inadvertant result of some 
adjustments I made to the scoring engine. Toivo Pedaste sent in this 
report about a week ago:

What I did was I set the word score to be divided by the word 
frequencies. This is generally a good thing since it will make less 
common words unimportant. However, I suspect in your case, all the 
scores became 0 and hence were given a 1% ranking. :-(

I don't know what to say except you should try bumping up the _factor 
attributes. Since you can modify them on the fly (no reindexing), 
this shouldn't be too hard. I think we'd all be interested to know 
what you find.

Huh. Do the m: values look like what you'd expect. Try something like this:

date --date "[fill in your value]"

(otherwise it's probably a really big number.)

I just wonder whether it's a bug in the htsearch code or the indexing 
code. The dates come through fine for me though.
