Re: [Gnumed-devel] phrase usage scoring

Really simply and worked well.

Incremented the counter. Discuss the pitfalls however.

One obvious one I found was that if one changed ones habits later and the 
counter was way way high that I had to manually change the weighting in the 
database, so there should be an option to let the user change weightings 
(rotate to top).

One can get cunning with the weighting in clinical use, e.g use one brand of 
drug for a condition only so the prescription is always totally auto-filled - 
saves heaps of time.

The list needs to discuss the weighting methods.
