Hi, Rob. I don't know much about relevance so I'll just pick on the
document itself. Hope this is useful.

"whatsoever" is all one word.

I can't parse the last clause.

"... to this set ..."

Isn't that a contradiction?

Is this generally true of CQL indexes and modifiers?

Why "relevancY" instead of "relevancE"?

I think you need to say more about this.
What about TF-IDF?
You should probably explicitly say that the set defines no indexes.
