Is search relevance based on all documents in a database or only the documents 
included in the scope of a search?

For example, assume I have three folders in the same database: /create, 
/preview and /publish.  /create contains multiple versions of each document. 
/preview contains copies of documents in /create that a user is considering 
displaying on a website. /publish contains copies of documents in /preview that 
a user wants to display on a website. Thus, /publish contains a copy of some of 
the documents in /preview and /preview contains a copy of some of the documents 
in /create and /create contains multiple versions of each document.

If I use XPath to limit a search to include only those documents in /publish, 
will search relevance be affected by duplicate documents in /create and 
/preview?

Similarly, if a user does a search for documents in all three folders but the 
user only has permissions to see documents in /publish, will search relevance 
be affected by duplicate documents in /create and /preview?

Should we create separate databases for /create, /preview, and /publish to 
ensure that duplicate documents do not affect search relevance?
