25 years ago, the difference between an organisation with good records management and an organisation with no records management could be expressed in one relationship. This was the relationship between how long it took you to find something, and the volume of paper you had.
"Now there's no relationship between volume and findability." "The relationship is now between the term you want to search for, and how often it appears in your content."
Not so sure that I agree with the first statement. If you're referring to digital searches, the volume of recall can be massive, as can redundancy, whereas relevance might be miniscule in comparison.
I agree with the second statement in that the more often the term appear the higher the search results, but this alone has little relationship to relevance.

Maybe no relationship was going too far - but it's certainly less important than term frequency.
