Muddiest Point Week 10

Bag of word representation does not seem like a very effective method to organize a document in order for it to be found. Unless the single search query were highly specified, I don't see many relevant results being returned. Is there any type of statistical "hit" rate for this method?

It doesn't seem as though all search engines utilize Boolean operators in there basic search field. How is the average searcher supposed to know?

Can you show some examples of a good index and a bad index?
