No, that was not what I meant.
I'm not interested in coloring the actual text, but in giving the user
an indication of how relevant the results are. Instead of displaying the
result score, I want to give some visual meter to show that. The highest
ranking result will be green if the it is really relevant to the query,
yellow if less and so on.
My question is if there's a good enough way to measure this - for
example if the first results is 20 times the score of the second, or
that's something I can't really do...

Hi all,
Interesting question: is it possible to color search results in a web-page
based on their score? e.g. most relevant results in green, and then different
shades through orange, yellow, red and then white.
Theoretically, one could take the highest score and color based on proximity /
distribution, but the highest score can be invalid in itself.
I could bring in a hardcoded cutoff point, where results are not considered
relevant and not color any results if the highest score doesn't go above that
threshold (e.g. score = 1.0), but then again - complex queries can yield
relevant results with low scores.
So my question is: has anyone ever tackled this issue, and is this even doable?
Thanks in advance!
Itamar.
