[Zope] querying on a ZCTextIndex (need an example)

[Roy Mathew]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your reply; the Zope Book (online version) is indeed very helpful.
However, even though it does say that the results are returned in weighted
order, I cannot find a way to display those *weights*. Hence my question.

| For results that include a text index, your results will be returned
| in order of revelance of the text search. That is, the result set will
| be sorted based how often search words appear in the indexes.  A
| search for the word frog against a text index will give priority
| toward an object that uses that word many times compared with an
| object that uses that fewer. This is a simplified version of the way
| that many web search engines work: the more "relevant" your keywords
| are to an item, the higher its ordering in the results. In particular,
| with the ZCTextIndex, you have a choice between two algorithms for how
| to weight the sorting: Okapi: is the best general choice...
