I'm new at this too, but AFAICS these are both exact matches: they have the same matching lexemes at the same positions, so the basic rank calculation is going to come out exactly the same. Normalization option 32 doesn't help (as the manual notes, it's purely cosmetic). So it's random chance which one comes out first. What I think you might want is one of the other normalization options, so that shorter documents are preferred. Either 1, 2, 8, or 16 would do fine for this simple example --- which one you want depends on just how heavily you want to favor shorter documents. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
