				<title>Search Service Weight/Ranking</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi there - I've read where the Geonames search service is using Lucene full text search across all fields.

Other than the index, any tips on how it's scoring/sorting?

The service almost always returns the best choice when the term is ambiguous or has many locations

http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?q=Youngstown
http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?q=Austin

Is it giving weight to feature codes, population, anything else?

Thanks,
Ross]]></description>
