Abstract diagram of Essie’s scoring algorithm. Term occurrences are weighted by: (1) the similarity to the user’s query, and (2) the importance of the field where they are found. For example, in a search for “heart attack,” a document with “heart attack” in the title (point A) would score higher than a document with “myocardial infarction” in the abstract (point B).
