title: How to affect Sphinx result weights
body: <p>I have a similar question here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8120581/sphinx-search-ranking-broken">Sphinx search ranking broken?</a>, but thought I'd ask a simpler version of it to see if I got any hits. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to affect the weights in Sphinx search results? Specifically for exact matches.</p>
  
  <p>I know changing the ranking mode gives you different weight scales, but most of the hits I'm getting have the same weight, for example searching for "once" produces disparaging results like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"once we were warriors" weight = 1637
  "once" weight = 1637
  "Once upon a time in the west" weight = 1637
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Surely, at least the first one should have a different weight since it's an exact match.</p>
  
  <p>Been fighting this for a couple of days, any help would be very welcome.</p>
