What action should a rater take if a search result does not match the user's query intent?

A rater should assess the relevance of a search result in relation to the user's query intent. If a search result does not meet the intent of the query, it indicates that the result may not be helpful or applicable to what the user is seeking. Rating the result as low in relevance accurately reflects this disconnect, helping to ensure that users receive more useful and pertinent results in future searches. This approach aligns with the objective of enhancing the user's search experience by filtering out less relevant information and guiding improvements in search algorithms.

Other actions, such as rating the result as high in relevance or ignoring the user's query, would not contribute positively to the quality of the search results. Additionally, providing search suggestions might be helpful in some contexts, but it doesn't address the specific need to rate the relevance of the current search result accurately. Therefore, marking a mismatched result as low in relevance ensures clarity in evaluating how well it aligns with user intent.
