[Perlfect-search] Search scores in percents

[Giorgos Zervas]

Well, you were both faster than me and as you have indicated the right
way is to find the biggest value in %answer then divide every other
value by this number; multiply by 100 and voila you have percentages.
What I wanted to add to the discussion is that percentage scoring is a
feature that is definetely going to be in perlfect search 3.10.
