Webboard: Wrong score when UserScore gets 0 and UserScoreFactor is set

I use "UserScore" in combination with "UserScoreFactor" which works great in general.

But if the UserScore gets "0" (which is a legit value) I get a score of 8363.722% (e.g.) for every result. This doesn't happen when I don't use "UserScoreFactor" at all, or set "UserScoreFactor" to "0".



I can reproduce this with mnoGoSearch-php-lite v.3.3.5. Here the UserScore will be forced to "0" which doesn't make sense. This is only to show this behaviour...



$us = "SELECT m.rec_id AS rec_id, 0 FROM ...";

$res = Udm_Set_Agent_Param_Ex($udm_agent, 'UserScore myrating "' . $us . '"');

$res = Udm_Set_Agent_Param_Ex($udm_agent, 'ReplaceVar us myrating');

$res = Udm_Set_Agent_Param_Ex($udm_agent, 'UserScoreFactor', '165');



Test environment: SuSE Enterprise Linux, mnoGoSearch 3.3.11 (occurs with 3.3.9 also)



Is there any workaround?



best regards,

Amar
