Additionally, omegascript documentation will also require updating to reflect support for newer weighting schemes in $set command. > It doesn't cover Dir+, but it does talk about BM25+ and PL2+. Actually, Dir+ is mentioned under LMWeight weighting scheme section in the last paragraph, although in brief. Thanks, Vivek
