Greetings,

I'm currently trying to do scoring over counts of events, and the way I  
imagined was document scoring based on integer proximity in the fields.

ex: a document where fieldA = 400 would score higher agains a document with  
fieldA=450 than one with fieldA\>500 or \<400.

Looking at TF/IDF I would assume the integers are handled as tokens and  
that proximity in the range is not taken into account when scoring. Am I  
correct to assume this and, if so, is there any way to effeciently score  
based on number only?

Thanks
