Equally importantly, is to avoid use giant-killing scores. I'd think 1.0 per hit would be as high as you'd ever want to use.
FWIW I have only two multiples - one scores 0.1 per hit and the other uses 1.0 - the second one scans for relatively complex phrases that are unlikely to be seen outside advertising blurb or the speech of a sales-droid, and as a consequence multiple hits are fairly rare - its only multiple to punish outbreaks of salesorrhea and is only used in metas (often with the othyer multiple, which tags product names and descriptions of stuff I'd never buy. I'm a private user, not an ISP: can you tell? :-) Martin
