Advanced Keyword search results are new and improved!

 
  This improvement is intended to help bring the best results to the very top and to subdivide the remaining results based on relevance. Results will appear in up to 5 groups depending on search results.
 
  Most Relevant Titles
   
  Group 1 is the absolutely most relevant; the very small number of titles where the primary title contains the search as a phrase (e.g. Good To Great) .
   
   
  Most Relevant Titles
   
 

Group 2 is the rest of the cream, "Best Bets" if you will. The items in it are weighted more heavily because of where and how the terms appear in the record (e.g. Paralegal success : going from good to great in the new century).

   
   
  Most Relevant Titles
   
  Group 3 is more things you would have found doing an adjacency search, but those deemed less relevant than the first group (e.g. Coaching, mentoring, and managing which has the phrase "good to great" in the summary).
   
   
  Most Relevant Titles
   
 

Group 4 broadens out farther and begins to pull in some AND results, but still contains items weighted more heavily because of where and how the terms appear in the record (e.g. Ageless : what every woman needs to know to look good and feel great).

   
   
  Most Relevant Titles
   
  Group 5 brings in the remaining results matching the search (e.g. 100% pure Florida fiction : an anthology which has "great" in the contents and "good" and "to" in the summary).
   
   
 

If no results are found in these groups, the system can still fall back to an OR search as in the current Keyword options.

   
   
  It is possible to bypass RightResult by submitting a complex query which targets specific keywords in specific slices, e.g. author contains smith, subject contains history, etc. as you can do from the Advanced Keyword Search page or using our syntax for submitting a search in a URL.
