Apologize if this is a dup message:

I was doing a full text search and had a question on why two different
entries got the same score:

Here is my select statement

SELECT
id,
pubyear,
MATCH ( title ) AGAINST ( 'Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to
surveyors, and survey protocols (MLM)' ) AS score, title FROM tblbook WHERE
MATCH ( title ) AGAINST ( 'Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to
surveyors, and survey protocols (MLM)' )

Here are the two results that come back:

title: Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and
survey protocols
score: 15.230528838754

title: Nursing home federal requirements, guidelines to surveyors, and
survey protocols (MLM)
score: 15.230528838754

I'm sure its work as expected, but I was hoping some could enlighten me as
to why these scores are the same. There are 35 entries in the database and
these are the only two titles that are similar. I also tried IN BOOLEAN MODE
as well.

Thanks, Mark
