I have tried many time to return the score(1) of a select statement using CONTEXT Index type and Contains Operator,
select score(1), Name_Col from Users where
contains(Name_Col, '?ahm',1)>0 order by score(1) DESC
all the returned results have the same score value, and when I tried to use another value as a search text, the score was the same for all the returned results too...
If anyone faced this case before, is there a logic error, or what is the algorithm for the score so as to analysis it well and see what is the reason for these strange view...
Thanks in advance

If all of your matches are only single tokens, then they either match or don't match, so the scores rounded to whole numbers are likely to be the same. If there are multiple matches within the column, then the scores are likely to be farther apart, as demonstrated below. You can also specify weight with the newer fuzzy syntax, instead of the question mark:
