    • Associate these with a ranking profile. (Query cooking + Analyzer + Linguistics etc).
    • Order of results is consistent across multiple hosts

Benchmarks[edit]

  • Benchmark indexing.
  • Benchmark testing.

Regression Tests[edit]

Moving Target[edit]

  • lots of arros - lots of test.
  • precise hits - degree of closensss.
  • Cps pf missing - special tests.
  • how does it move - monitoring.
  • unexpectred movement - spike.
  • precision + accuracy - non determinism.
