Is there any way to make relevance when using boolean mode more useful?
If not, are there plans in the future Fulltext development "todo" for
making it useful? 

I'm thinking of just counting the keyword occurences in records with a
PHP script somehow and using that to order the records. Or doing a
non-boolean fulltext search w/relevance first and then melding that in
somehow with a boolean search.

See my results below...my "peeps" are asking me for relevance/ranking -
what do I do?
Thanks.

mysql> SELECT `page`.`title` , MATCH ( `title` , `descrip` ) AGAINST (
'nasdac' IN BOOLEAN MODE ) AS Relevance FROM `page` WHERE MATCH (
`title` , `descrip` ) AGAINST ( 'nasdac' IN BOOLEAN MODE )HAVING
Relevance > 0.2 ORDER BY Relevance DESC;
