Dear Wiard Vasen,

you just need to set the scoring property once.
If you work in the GUI:

Go to the top input bar, choose command and type:

set scoring *

as * set the scoring algorithm you like.

In the console just type: set scoring *

After setting this you can use the score function, like in the 8th query of our online demo (basex.org/products/live-demo):

let $names := ('Jack London', 'Jack', 'Jim Beam', 'Jack Daniels')
for $name at $pos score $score in $names[. contains text 'Jack']
order by $score descending
return <name pos='{ $pos }'>{ $name }</name>

Don't hesitate to ask for more,
Andreas

Dear sirs of Basex,

I am doing my Master thesis on the letters of Vincent van Gogh at the University of Amsterdam.
For that purpose I use BaseX to analyze the letters.

I wonder, is there the possibility to generate a tf/idf score automatically?
In your faq I noticed there needs to be a special term like 'SET SCORING 0'  to be able to get a tf/idf score.

This information I get from the following page: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Full-Text

Could you help me with this?

I would be very grateful.

Kind regards,
