relevance
relevance (information science)A measure of how closely a given object(file, web page, database record, etc.) matches a user'ssearch for information.
The relevance algorithms used in most large web search engines today are based on fairly simple word-occurencemeasurement: if the word "daffodil" occurs on a given page,then that page is considered relevant to a query on the word"daffodil"; and its relevance is quantised as a factor of thenumber of times the word occurs in the page, on whether"daffodil" occurs in title of the page or in its METAkeywords, in the first N words of the page, in a heading,and so on; and similarly for words that a stemmer says arebased on "daffodil".
More elaborate (and resource-expensive) relevance algorithmsmay involve thesaurus (or synonym ring) lookup; e.g. itmight rank a document about narcissuses (but which may notmention the word "daffodil" anywhere) as relevant to a queryon "daffodil", since narcissuses and daffodils are basicallythe same thing. Ditto for queries on "jail" and "gaol", etc.
More elaborate forms of thesaurus lookup may involvemultilingual thesauri (e.g. knowing that documents in Japanesewhich mention the Japanese word for "narcissus" are relevantto your search on "narcissus"), or may involve thesauri (oftenauto-generated) based not on equivalence of meaning, but onword-proximity, such that "bulb" or "bloom" may be in thethesaurus entry for "daffodil".
Word spamming essentially attempts to falsely increase a webpage's relevance to certain common searches.
