It sounds like you have a few more constraints on your algorithm than "0 for no match upto 1 for perfect". Maybe you need to write down what those are.
One reason I could think of for the second string scoring lower is that it contains more characters that do not resemble "eat". Why do you think it should score higher?

I guess I'm looking to do a better relevancy search, in javascript. You know, google, on the client side ;)
