Google-like Searching I feel lucky LeeeeeeaaaaaaaaadIT The better the geometric fit, the better the rank Mar 31 2011 28
ReCore: Results Delivery By design the best fitting replacements are found first The ranking is according to deviation from perfect vector overlap Rank 1 Rank 2 Rank 3 ReCore Query Rank 4 Mar 31 2011 30
