I can't seem to find anything on the technicals, but how is the whole "best-match to worst-match" thing calculated? For example, if I was to have, an entry with the title "Top Trees" then "Top Trees" I would expect to be a "best-match"?

Hi Chris, would you mind splitting these into two separate questions? You're more likely to get a good response to your second question that way.
