4. Term Weighting -

This applies priority listing in your search. The more synonyms you include in the search, the better chances of prioritizing that word in the search.

You can also prioritize by typing the word first in the browser. Therefore If you want to search about educational schools in the Philippines, you can do this fast by typing: “Educational Schools” Philippines.
