If you'll pardon my > ignorance, what other resources is the search engine considering at all? And maybe a short explanation of what these 'weights' are all about? Does that just mean that when i search for something, archives results will always preceed varlena's? And, if so, and we are only doing archives vs varlena, as long as archives is weighted higher then varlena, does it matter what the weights are? Could be 1 + 2, no? ---- Marc G.
