I post this email while away from my work area and access to most of my research materials; more specifically, on a netbook from a hospital room, although I personally am fine. I hope my question is not thus poorly presented.
Does the term "precision" have a meaning significantly different when applied to the indexing of databases than it does in general use?

I was not aware that precision was a problem with Zebra, although we have found, to our great dismay with our recent implementation of Koha, that relevancy, which I would call accuracy, is. More correctly and scientifically stated perhaps, relevancy sucks. Do I incorrectly associate accuracy with relevancy?

I have noticed a bug with C4/Search .. such that relevancy isn't actually being used. Is your opac live? If you send me a url I can test my theory on your opac
