full text search on multiple tables yielding one rank

Is it possible to do full text search on multiple tables and having one rank
for all searches? Ive read a lot of articles that gives me code samples on
doing FTS on multi tables but they gave me multiple ranks for each search.
Without consolidating all of your data in the multiple tables into a child
table there is no way to do this with a meaningful rank.
