Hi,
I wonder why the third query returns 0.
To me, it would return 0.1, because there is not baz in the text

Thanks !

SELECT ts_rank_cd(apod.t, query,4) AS rank

Hello,

I think this is a right behaviour of the function. Because it computes how often the query terms appear in the document, how close together the terms are in the document, and how important is the part of the document where they occur.

In the third example found terms are empty. And the function can't do calculates with empty terms. It sees that the terms are empty and returns 0.0.
