Ranking and Suffixes

Hi,

I'm doing a simple LIKEP search on the word "Babies". I'm getting results with the word "Baby" ranked higher than results with the word "Babies" I would expect the exact match to be ranked higher. Is this expected?

I'm using version:
Texis Version 05.01.1210185363(20080507)

I've built indexes and execute the query with these parameters:

<apicp keepeqvs 1>
<apicp alequivs 1>
<apicp keepnoise 1>
<apicp exactphrase 1>
<apicp suffixproc 1>
<apicp minwordlen 3>

<sql "set delexp=0"></sql>
<sql "set addexp='\alnum{1,30}'"></sql>
<sql "set addexp='>>\alnum=[\alnum\.\+\_\x24\x27\x2E\xa0-\xff]{1,30}'"></sql>
<SQL NOVARS "set likeporder=1000"></SQL>
<SQL NOVARS "set likepproximity=1000"></SQL>
<SQL NOVARS "set likepdocfreq=1000"></SQL>
<SQL NOVARS "set likeptblfreq=0"></SQL>
<SQL NOVARS "set likepleadbias=0"></SQL>

The words will be treated as equivalent, so the form of the word will not affect the rank, just the other rank factors.
