Abstract

Search engines today are not always correct in their assessment of how well websites correlate with user-defined keywords. Through extensive research, an adequate relevance factor formula was found and implemented. Chris Buckley, Gerald Salton, and James Allan introduced this formula. It is an automated tool for website ranking, which corresponds more closely to how the users would rate the websites' significance. The formula depends partly on the number of times the user-defined keyword(s) appear(s) in the document.
