yes thats correct.

thx i'll try what you suggested, I think I'll cut the results to lets say
200-300 (after the first sorting is done) then add my rank and re-sort
(i'm thinking in a linear combination where the strong part is swish-e
rank and my rank will only modify a bit the rank, so with 200ish pages I
think I won't miss a noticiable amount of 'good' results).
