[Yum-devel] ranked multiterm searching

[seth vidal]

I implemented a ranked multi-term search routine in searchGenerator()

the patch is attached.

Pros:
 - makes the search return put the more valuable stuff at the top of
search results
 - makes multiterm searching behave like more people expect (like
google)

Cons:
 - b/c you have to sort the search results after you get them it slows
down the results and partially defeats the purpose of the generator, at
all.
 - the more terms you add the slower it gets for obvious reasons.

thoughts on better ways to do this are welcome.
