Class wais.WAISResultSet 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----wais.WAISResultSet
public class WAISResultSet
extends Object
The class for combining the results returned by filter queries and ranking queries to the WAIS search engine. WAIS does not have a facility for internally handling. So our way around it is to submit two queries - one based on the filter expression and one on the ranking expression. The final result set includes all documents in the filter expression with their socre adjusted as follows - if the document appears in the result set from the ranking expression, use the ranking score as the score; if the documennt does not appear in the result set from the ranking expressing, set its score to 0.
