Hi Grant,
I was thinking that something in o.a.l.search.function was going to be the
route to take, but wanted to hear if there were other ideas from the

A custom sort wouldn't work in this case because we don't want the items to
necessarily be bunched together, rather just have their scores increased.
Thanks again.
