Interpreted

The Interpreted (interp) ranking module is a general-purpose module that assigns a score to each result based on the query processing techniques used to obtain the match.

Matching techniques considered include partial matching, cross-field matching, spelling correction, thesaurus, and stemming matching (discussed in detail in the Endeca Advanced Development Guide).

Specifically, the interpreted ranking module ranks results as follows:

All non-partial matches are ranked ahead of all partial matches.
Within the above layer, all single-field matches are ranked ahead of all cross-field matches.
Within the above layer, all non-spelling-corrected matches are ranked above all spelling-corrected matches.
Within the above layer, all non-thesaurus matches are ranked above all thesaurus matches.
Within the above layer, all non-stemming matches are ranked above all stemming (word form) matches.
