What the MetaNamesRank param does is artificially inflate the number of 
occurances of words that occur within the specified MetaName. So you have it 
configured correctly, as far as I can tell.

What I was suggesting was that in order to test it accurately, you need to let 
it default to sorting by swishrank \first\ -- otherwise, comparing the order 
with and without MetaNamesRank is apples and oranges. In your example, your 
results are being sorted by 'swishserver' then 'desc' and then by 'swishrank.' 
All I was suggesting was that if you sort first by swishrank, then you might see 
a difference (or not -- the MetaNamesRank feature is reported to have neglible 
affect on ranking).
