No, not easily. But remember that if you're using a method=AND, then
it won't return any results that don't match all the words in the
query. The words can come in the document itself, in the META
information, or by default in the text of links pointing to a page.
You can turn off (or scale) any of these behaviors with the various
*_factor attributes, though in 3.1.x you'll generally have to rebuild
the database for the change in scoring to take effect.
