Relevance guide
Keyword search matches the words you typed in each record's own text.
BM25 ranks a record higher when your terms appear often in it and rarely in the rest of its table.
A full gauge means best in its group, not best overall.
Strong
≥67% of the group's best
Match
34–66%
Weak
under 34%
Unranked
too common here to rank — this order is a tiebreak
Chronic pain
Marks show where your terms hit a title, a code or an address. The note to the right of the gauge names each matched field, so a hit on a specialty or a postal code appears there, not as a mark.
More about these scores
Repeats count for less each time, and a match in short text counts for more than one in long text. Each kind of record is scored separately, so a gauge compares a record with the best in its group, never with the whole page. A word carried by half or more of a kind's records counts for nothing; when nothing you typed counts in a group, it is Unranked.
