Vector Space Queries

The query engine supports vector space queries. Vector space queries return pages that match a list of words and phrases. The rank of each page indicates how well the page matched the query.

To Search For	Example	Results
Pages that contain specific words	`light, bulb`	Files with words that best match the words being searched for
Pages that contain weighted prefixes, words, and phrases	`invent*, light[50], bulb[10], "light bulb"[400]`	Files that contain words prefixed by invent, the words light, bulb, and the phrase light bulb (the terms are weighted)

Components in vector space queries are separated by commas.
Components in vector space queries can be weighted by using the [weight] syntax.
Pages returned by vector space queries do not necessarily match every term in the query.
Vector queries work best when the results are sorted by rank.
