A method for analyzing a number of candidate answer texts to determine their respective relevance to a query text, includes the following steps: producing, for respective candidate answer texts being analyzed, respective pluralities of component scores that result from respective comparisons with the query text, the comparisons including a measure of word occurrences, word group occurrences, and word sequences occurrences; determining, for respective candidate answer texts being analyzed, a composite relevance score as a function of the component scores; and outputting at least some of the candidate answer texts having the highest composite relevance scores.
