| Sorting search results:
Relevance For the Relevance option, the system
uses the following rules to rank the search results:
- The four indexed fields Title, Author, Subject,
and Note are ranked in order. Records that include a
particular word or phrase from the search expression
in the Title field will have a higher relevance than
those in which the word or phrase appears in the
Author field. Similarly, records that include the
term(s) in the Author field will have a higher
relevance than those in which the term(s) appear in
the Subject field.
- For searches on a single word, the system first
applies the "field rule" described above. It then
determines relevance based on one of the following
three rules:
- Most relevant -- The word is one of the first
eight words indexed for the same record
- Next most relevant -- The word is one of the first
thirty-two words indexed for the same record
- Last most relevant -- The word is indexed more
than once in the same record
- For searches including more than one word, the
system first applies the "field rule" described above.
It then determines relevance based on one of the
following three rules:
- Most relevant -- The first two words are very
near one another in the index
- Next most relevant -- The first two words are
near one another in the index
- Last most relevant -- The words are indexed more
than once in the same record
