What do we mean by true relevance? Because Summon searches across all content within a single index, we actually apply relevancy algorithms to all content equally Results are not biased toward one content vendor or content type A single, relevance ranked results lists allows for unparalleled granularity of facets allowing users to further zoom in on the most relevant results How is this different from other solutions?
