It's me to be sorry for not being able to figure out what this means ;)

Up to here it's clear enough (well..., unless sombody asks me to explain
what's the Number of subexpressions (plural than can be either 0 or 1?)

this starts to be a bit bewildering: why ...[0]?
Do I miss some 'basic' glossary?

And this one sounds completely obscure to me: not even able to put
another *;* somewhere to better reading ;(

BTW, before your suggestion to put:
rank = aSearchResult.SubRegExpressions -1
both start and endoffset evaluated to 0.

Thanks for your time.
   Ignorantly yours, ;-)
                  Ennio.
