precision

precision
A measure of a search system's effectiveness in terms of retrieving only relevant results, expressed as the ratio of relevant records or documents retrieved from a database to the total number retrieved in response to the query. A high-precision search means that most of the results retrieved will be relevant; however, a high-precision search will not necessarily retrieve all relevant results. Recall and precision are inverse ratios. When one goes up, the other goes down
