+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Question</emphasis>: Why does my Zebra title search for 'Help'
+ not turn up 'The help' in the first pages of results?</para>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Answer</emphasis>: When doing a title search, you actually want
+ to search for the title (i.e., 'the help' rather than just 'help'), and it will bubble
+ right up to the top. If you're just searching for 'help' then the relevance ranking is
+ going to affect the results you see. </para>
+ <para>When it comes to relevance in Zebra, here's what's happening. First, the search is
+ done. If you search for the title "help", then any title that has "help" in it comes back.
+ Then from those records, separately, it does relevance on the *whole* record. The more
+ your word appears, the more relevant, and some MARC tags are worth more points than
+ others. So a self-help book with 505 notes where "help" appears a *lot* will be at the
+ top, regardless of keyword or title.</para>
+ <para>But when you add a *second word*, that helps it figure things out, as it's weighing
+ the relevance of both words and the phrase. Because of the way relevance works, if you
+ search "the help", then "the help" or "the help I need" are more relevant than "the way to
+ help", because they appear together in order. Likewise, "help the girl" would be lower
+ relevance, because it's out of order, and "help for the homeless" would be lower still, as
+ they're out of order, and apart.</para>
+ <para>The moral of the story is that single word searches, particularly on common words,
+ will always struggle a bit; it can't evaluate relevance well, because you've not given it
+ enough input.</para>
