Greetings,

Is it possible to do a "weighted search" with postgres? A weighted search
would be like a [select] with a [where] clause with a bunch of conditions.
Each condition is worth 1 point. So if 6 conditions match, that would be
60%, etc. The results would be shown highest points first. Almost like a
search engine, the more I think about it. Hmm.

How is this done? Or more to the point, how can I do this with postgres?

Thanks,
Matthew
