[Catalog-sig] Can the 'score' system be explained on PyPI?

[René Dudfield]

Hey hey.

That's the relevance score.  Or how relevant pypi thinks the results are to
your search query.  It could easily be mistaken for other meanings though as
you suggest.  It's kind of common on some websites search features.

Another fix could be: s/Score/Relevance/g

cya!
