Results are sorted by relevance, which combines several factors, the most important ones being (a) the system’s confidence in a particular result (b) the textual emphasis (e.g. boldface, being close to the top of the document) of the string (c) keyword relevance (classic TF-IDF). The exact combination weights are proprietary.
