Franklin User Guide - Relevance Ranked Titles List

A Relevance Ranked search is a type of keyword search that uses a ranking algorithm to determine the order of entries in a search result. The titles list displays the title, author, and date for each entry, and a Relevance column that indicates how much relevance (weight) each title has to the search criteria you typed in. The most relevant titles display at the top of the list with five red bullets in the Relevance column. As the titles become less and less relevant to the search criteria, the bullets in the Relevance column will decrease.

To display the record details associated with a title, click on the underlined title to display the Record Details.
