Usage Notes
Confidence is similar to score, except that it is bounded.
It is similar to fitness, except that it is influenced by term IDFs.
It is an xs:float in the range of 0.0 to 1.0.
It does not include quality.
When using with any of the scoring methods, the confidence is calculated by first bounding the score in the range of 0.0 to 1.0, then taking the square root of that number.
Example
let $x := cts:search(collection(), "dog")
return
cts:confidence($x[1])
=> Returns the confidence value for the first item
in the search.
