And maybe a short explanation of what these 'weights' are all about?  Does
that just mean that when i search for something, archives results will
always preceed varlena's?  And, if so, and we are only doing archives vs
varlena, as long as archives is weighted higher then varlena, does it
matter what the weights are?  Could be 1 + 2, no?
