Relevance Scores

Index terms appear on documents together with relevance scores based on criteria such as a term's frequency, weight and location. The relevance scores measure the quantity of discussion in a document on a particular topic.

Scores fall in the following ranges:

90% - 99% = Major Reference
80% - 89% = Strong Passing Reference
50% - 79% = Weak Passing Reference

Use scores to expand or refine an index term search.

Broadest search - all matching documents:

terms(index term)

Narrower search - documents discussing a topic:

terms(index term PRE/2 8*% OR 9*%)
 

Narrowest search - strongest discussions of a topic:

terms(index term 9*%)

All SmartIndexing terms appear capitalized with a score. Publisher-provided indexing appears in mixed case with no score.
