Does the new text search method in SQL Server provide a “best match” text
search? Does it work similar to a Google search, for example, where the most
words that match gets the highest relevancy score, then these should appear
first. I wondered if the new text search provided a accuracy/relevancy score
on the results?

Help i appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, the freetext predicate is most similar to the way searches are
conducted in Google.
