The base score of documents I search for is typically 0.0001, while the backlink factor is typically 2000. Since these are added, the weight given to the document itself is approximately zero!
Does anyone know how this came about?
Well, that makes some sense. We haven't "recalibrated" the scoring, though we trimmed out the whole "words in the front get higher score" bit. And since I assumed that somewhere along the 3.2 development, we'd add in some sort of "proximity weighting," I didn't really worry about it.
As far as changing the weightings, I don't think anyone minds as long as it's explained up-front in release documentation. In particular, now that you don't have to reindex to change weightings, it's an easy change to your config file.
