Hi,

I need to get the best entries when comparing strings to one field. For  
example I have I field that are the people favourite colors.

Person 1 {Name:Ben; Age:30; Colors{Blue,Yellow,Black}}  
Person 2 {Name:Linda; Age:10; Colors{Black,Green,White}}  
Person 3 {Name:Clark; Age:22; Colors{Blue,Red,Purple}}  
Person 4 {Name:Jerry; Age:20; Colors{Orange,Yellow,Grey}}

And I get Colors Blue and Yellow.  
Expected results  
Person 1 score 2  
Person 4 score 1  
Person 3 score 1  
Person 2 score 0

I search foruns for this answer but I didn't found it, can anyone help me ?

Thanks
