Hi Lisa,
The presentation I did at last year's Evergreen conference may be
helpful - http://slides.com/kathylussier/evergreen-search. It reviews
some of the places where relevance can be adjusted in Evergreen. I've
been meaning to use the presentation as a basis for documentation, but I
haven't had a chance to get to it.
I don't know if you're going, but I know Mike Rylander is doing a
presentation at this year's conference too that might be helpful.

Hi all!
I think I may have posted this to a listserv that I am not a part of
on Friday. So, if you replied to that, would you please reply here
instead?
I am hoping that someone can help me with some information. I am
writing a report on how Evergreen retrieves records.
Specifically, I am looking for information on the theory of
information retrieval that undergirds Evergreen. What type of
algorithm does it use? How does it determine relevancy? Does it use a
specific method in order to index records? How does it determine what
records to pull?
In the Evergreen documentation, I discovered that it uses "cover
density" in order to determine relevance.
Can anyone provide any more information?
Thank you,
