As part of my quest to learn more about SEO I have decided to include some definitions of words you may come across in a discussion of SEO. I will enter these in installments so as to not bore everyone to death :)
Boolean search: A search allowing the inclusion or exclusion of documents containing certain words through the use of operators such as AND, NOT and OR.
Concept search: A search for documents related conceptually to a word, rather than specifically containing the word itself.
Full-text index: An index containing every word of every document cataloged, including stop words (defined below).
Fuzzy search: A search that will find matches even when words are only partially spelled or misspelled.
Index: The searchable catalog of documents created by search engine software. Also called "catalog." Index is often used as a synonym for search engine. Index is commonly pluralized as "indices." However, Search Engine Watch instead uses the alternative plural form "indexes."
