The second paragraph of http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#4.14

Setting a factor to 0 lowers the score for words of that type, but it
doesn't suppress them from the results - it just pushes them to the end.

There is no 3.16 beta 04.  I imagine you have either the 3.1.6 final
(stable) release, or you have a snapshot of 3.2.0b4.  Either way, you
should be able to get the version number, including release date for a
snapshot, by running "htdig -\? | head" and looking for the 3rd line of
output, which begins "This program is part of ht://Dig ..."  The "..."
will be the full version number, which should accompany any bug or
trouble report.  (I'm currently adding a note about this to the FAQ,
question 5.33).
