It is rather annoying, because I wont know if it's worth while until I try it.

In the past I've gotten good responses to posting questions like this in the CP Algorithms forum: [^].
What you are describing sounds to me like what I read folks do with graph-databases, like Neo4j: [^].
Or, perhaps, what you can do with Microsoft's Trinity graph-database: [^].

Not sure I fully understand as I am drunk. that said.
Is the 0..1 matching an essentially analog match (i.e. any value between 0 and 1) or are there only specific (i.e. digital) values
If the latter, and there are a reasonable number of discrete values, one can turn the problem around by storing each possible value as a boolean, in a bit pattern
we did this in a real estate system (as a concrete example)
so bit 0 meant 1 bedroom
bit 1 meant 2 bedroom
bit 45 meant swimming pool
bit 312 meant close to bus stop
etc.
then we read and logically AND ed each record with a search bit pattern.
because it's bits it's small and you can load a surprising number into memory for comparison.
Probably not your problem - but I think interesting anyway - much like this local Red

Sadly, it varies from value to value. Some are true/false but a lot are in a range. Using your example, would be price and location as obvious analog values, but also something like number of bedrooms.
So when there is a range, let's say 3-5 bedrooms, those value would be 1.0, anything outside half the range would be proportional to how close it was so 2 and 6 bedrooms would be 0.5 match. That is my problem. So even a failure to match on one criteria may not mean that there is no match as it depends on the number of other things that match. Don't get me started on the weighting issues as that just makes your brain go off in a sulk and stick its tongue out.

Sounds like you need to use a similar method to that I proposed but using qubits...

Starting from endless battles, via a storage building, to a higher place? – flotsam at journey’s end

I would say washed up if it was (6, 2)

erm - it should have been 6,2.. my brain needs debugging.

In that case;

endless battles - wars
a storage building - shed
a higher place - up
flotsam - washed up

You win

Nuts, just remembered I'm going to Legoland on Monday.
Why do I only win these things when I'm going to a theme park the next (working) day?

The answer is either you don't win this very often or you go to a lot of theme parks.

Well I was Alton Towers last Thursday, going to Legoland Sunday and Monday, then to Thorpe Park the following Monday.
This is unusual activity though.

Bought Merlin Annual passes at the start of the summer, my daughter is about 5 cm too short to get full use of them in the bigger parks, but we've already saved more than we spent (if you ignore the fact we wouldn't have paid to go so many times if we didn't have them).

It could be worse than merely wearing the t-shirt. You could also be using THIS[^] deodorant!
[EDIT] DANG! I wanted to buy one of those deos just for fun. It's $15. But they want $70 in postage to Sweden! Stupid arses! It can't possibly be that expensive to ship such a small item - even to Europe! [/EDIT]

It's not the shipping. It's the customs. It's probably classed as perfume!

Customs is normally charged directly to the recipient by the local customs office here in Sweden, so I doubt that the shipping company has anything to do with that...
Anyway, Amazon.com LISTS it as shipping cost!
Proven by the fact that I found another supplier that would ship it for half the shipping cost (which I still think is too much, so I didn't buy it anyway)
