    Relevance search engines, which measure the occurrence of search terms in a group of retrieved records and rank them accordingly, often produce better results than refined Boolean searches. Relevance searching has emerged from the research stage to be on the verge of becoming the standard retrieval method. Describes and evaluates the operation of DIALOG's TARGET, a major accomplishment, despite some rough edges
