In my continuing effort to expand our knowledge of SEO terminology I bring you the next installment of definitions. Try to stay awake okay?
Keyword search: A search for documents containing one or more words that are specified by a user.
Phrase search: A search for documents containing a exact sentence or phrase specified by a user.
Precision: The degree in which a search engine lists documents matching a query. The more matching documents that are listed, the higher the precision. For example, if a search engine lists 80 documents found to match a query but only 20 of them contain the search words, then the precision would be 25%.
Proximity search: A search where users to specify that documents returned should have the words near each other.
Query-By-Example: A search where a user instructs an engine to find more documents that are similar to a particular document. Also called "find similar."
