Interpreted (interp) is a general-purpose module that assigns a
score to each result record based on the query processing techniques used to
obtain the match.
Matching techniques considered include partial matching,
cross-attribute matching, spelling correction, thesaurus, and stemming
matching.
Specifically, the Interpreted module ranks results as follows:
- All non-partial matches
are ranked ahead of all partial matches. For more information, see the "Using
Search Modes" chapter in this guide.
- Within the above strata,
all single-field matches are ranked ahead of all cross-field matches. For more
information, see the "Working with Search Interfaces" chapter in this guide.
- Within the above strata,
all non-spelling-corrected matches are ranked above all spelling-corrected
matches. See the "Working with Spelling Correction and Did You Mean" chapter in
this guide for more information.
- Within the above strata,
all thesaurus matches are ranked below all non-thesaurus matches. See the
"Using Stemming and Thesaurus" chapter in this guide for more information.
- Within the above strata,
all stemming matches are ranked below all non-stemming matches. See the "Using
Stemming and Thesaurus" chapter for more information.
