Certainly the higher the number of occurrences of a word, the higher it's score--each word counts in the sum. The "varying location factor" is simply as described. If the word is the first word, it gets 1000. If it's the last, it gets 1. Words in between are scaled linearly.Is there more detailed information on this topic available? What are these "varying location factor(s)". Is there some dependence on placement with respect to total word count?
The maximum score for a particular query gets 100%. The other percentages are simply (score)/(max score) * 100%Also . . . in reading the FAQ I am unable to determine how the percent ranking of each hit is calculated. How does this work?
