Term Weighting

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

Query terms can be weighted at the time of submitting the query to influence the ranking of results. Coerced terms or relatively highly-weighted terms give documents a high ranking. ‹This section describes these topics.
