Default Quality of Search Results...

Swabby, I'm wondering if you are looking into adding a feature to the search engine to let people know about how well the query hits match the query....

ie: if I search for "Simpsons Homer the Garbage Man" it brings up any files that has at least one of those words. But if I could sort by how many of those words are present in the query hits it would make finding stuff a lot easier.

so if "Simpsons Homer the Thief" came up it would be a 60% match cause 3 of the words matched (Simpsons, homer, the)

and then if "Jessica Simpsons" came up it would only be a 20% match because it only contains 1 word (simpsons)

Limewire has something like this if you want an example. Just wondering cause it would make searching a lot easier.

Thanks
