You mention that everything is in "a big store of data". I take it to mean
that the data to be searched is already indexed (or indexable) via routine
database retrieval methods. If that's the case, your search engine is really
a front-end for query construction, to a predictable database. Result sets
returned should be predictable and non-variable.  In this context, what's
'best results'?
