Not yet.

Try running the libtest program.  Change to the src directory in the 
distribution and run "make libtest".  I think by default libtest sorts 
by swishtitle, so you should probably change that to rank before running 
"make libtest".  libtest opens index.swish-e in the current directory.

I just compared results from the swish-e binary, the C API (using 
libtest) and also the SWISH::API module and all presented the same rank.

But that's all with swish-e version 2.4.  The code below if for the old 
API, right?  I'd recommend using the new API.  The more testers the 
better...  The API docs could more reviewing, too.
