Andreas,
Probably you are right. What I don't what to do is to decrease the score
for elements which have some additional terms.
So, ie I am looking for a recipe. I have indexed some of them with such
ingredients:
recipe1: "beef"
recipe2: "onion beef chicken"
recipe3: "onion beef chicken tomato"
Looking for a "beef" I wouldn't like to "punish" recipe2 and recipe3
because they are richer, I would like to treat them in the same way.
Actually the score does not have to be 1.0, but I would like it to be
the same for all recipes mentioned above.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
mlynco
