Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by checking SQLite.swift's existing full-text-search API and SQLite's bm25/rank ordering behavior; define the supported relevance-ordering behavior and verify it with a focused test.

Description

enhancement help wanted

As far as I can tell, you can't currently run a Full-text search and order by rank in SQLite.swift.

SELECT * FROM fts WHERE fts MATCH ? ORDER BY bm25(fts);
SELECT * FROM fts WHERE fts MATCH ? ORDER BY rank;

Is this feature currently available? If not, how do we order the results of a Full-text search by relevance? Is there currently a workaround?
