What is LexisNexis® SmartIndexing Technology™?
LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology™ applies index terms to news, company, and legislative sources. Algorithms created and monitored by a team of information professionals and subject experts look for words, phrases, names, acronyms, abbreviations, spelling variations, and nick names (e.g. International Business Machines = IBM = Big Blue) to assign appropriate index terms to documents. A relevance score — based on criteria such as a term’s frequency, weight, and document placement — follows each index term. SmartIndexing Technology provides search assistance through Power Search and drives the Result Groups feature within answer sets.
