Search Metric

« Back to Glossary Index

Used in search tuning to show whether an improvement has been made, Search metrics are formulas that output a numeric representation of relevance, based on comparisson of judgements to actual search results. Search metrics will give higher numbers when more relevant documents are at the top of the results, and lower numbers when less relevant documents are at the top of the results.
