the smilies to tell X2-Search if it correctly
classified this result as good. X2-Search will
also tell you how well it thinks the result matches the
training material it has seen so far - for example
"Very good match" in the picture.
X2-Search finds unlinked pages. Please have
a look at this example (pdf).
You can do follow the steps in the example with
