>Hi,

>this is a simple patch against htdig 3.1.5. I call it "multi boost" patch
>because it increases the score if more than one word is matched when
>matching "any words". We're using this on bugs.kde.org, it's better than
>using AND because that often returns no results.
>
>Perhaps you want to put this on the patches section on the htdig homepage
>(if such a section exists).
>
>Regards
>  Daniel
