	I would like to rank the positions with different point scales. Can this be done ?

Solution I suppose it could be done, but it would require some customizing. In engine module file you could define a point multiplier, like:

$sites['google']['multi'] = 1.5;

Next in /includes/do_search.php you can change this block:

//add points

$out[$s['site']] += ($options['limit']+1-$r);

with:

//add points

if (!isset($sites[$key]['multi'])) $sites[$key]['multi'] = 1;

$out[$s['site']] += ($options['limit']+1-$r) * $sites[$key]['multi'];
