What is Relevance score?
A relevance score is a numerical value assigned to a document that indicates how relevant that document is for a given query. Relevance scores are used to order results on a SERP and can be calculated through a wide range of different relevance models. Relevance scores are distinguished from more rudimentary relevance models, such as binary relevance, which merely determines whether or not a document is relevant to query without assigning any score to the document.
Relevanssi replaces the standard WordPress search with a better search engine, with lots of features and configurable options. You’ll get better results, better presentation of results – your users will thank you.
This is the free version of Relevanssi. There’s also Relevanssi Premium, which has added features.
Do note that using Relevanssi may require large amounts (hundreds of megabytes) of database space. If your hosting setup has a limited amount of space for database tables, using Relevanssi may cause problems. In those cases, use of Relevanssi cannot be recommended.
