From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
weighted search A search based on frequencies of the {search terms} in the documents being searched. Weighted search is often used by {search engines}. It produces a numerical score for each possible document. A document's score depends on the frequency of each {search term} in that document compared with the overall frequency of that term in the entire corpus of documents. A common approach is called tf.idf which stands for term frequency * inverse document frequency. Term frequency means "the more often a term occurs in a document, the more important it is in describing that document." {http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/cmpsci646/ir4/tsld034.htm} Inverse document frequency means the more documents a term appears in, the less important the term is. A simple weighted search is just a list of search terms, for example: car automobile Weighted search is often contrasted with {boolean search}. It is possible to have a search that syntactically is a boolean search but which also does a weighted search. See also {query expansion}. For a detailed technical discussion see Chapter 5, "Search Strategies", in the reference below. [{"Information Retrieval", C. J. van Rijsbergen, (http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/Keith/Chapter.5/Ch.5.html)}]. (1999-08-28)
