I believe handling of _factor attributes changed between 3.1 and 3.2. In
3.1 weights are computed during the dig and stored with their
corresponding terms. Terms with a weight factor of zero are dropped and
never added to the database. In 3.2 all scoring is handled at search
time, which allows the various _factor attributes to be adjusted without
rebuilding the database. As such, terms are added to the database
regardless of their weighting factor. In 3.2 weighting is used only for
scoring a match, not for determining what constitutes a match.
