Interpreted

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:
  1. All non-partial matches are ranked ahead of all partial matches. For more information, see Using Search Modes.
  2. Within the above strata, all single-field matches are ranked ahead of all cross-field matches. For more information, see Working with Search Interfaces.
  3. Within the above strata, all non-spelling-corrected matches are ranked above all spelling-corrected matches. See Spelling Correction and Did You Mean for more information.
  4. Within the above strata, all thesaurus matches are ranked below all non-thesaurus matches. See Using Stemming and Thesaurus for more information.
  5. Within the above strata, all stemming matches are ranked below all non-stemming matches. See Using Stemming and Thesaurus for more information.
