Abstract

Subject matter described herein is related to determining a document score, which suggests a relevance of a document (e.g., webpage) to a search query. For example, a search query is received that is comprised of one or more terms, which represent a subject. An equivalent subject is identified that is semantically similar to the subject. The document score is determined by accounting for both a subject frequency and an equivalent-subject frequency.
