Abstract: After some general reflections on relevance ranking in online catalogues the article reviews three recent contributions dealing in detail with the parametrisation of ranking features for bibliographic data. Two of these papers are practical accounts of work done on "next-generation" online catalogues, both in Germany and in Australia; the third is a conceptual paper. It is shown that the optimisation of ranking features is a complex and time-consuming task. The last section of the article deals with the question whether or not next-generation catalogues can rank one-word titles (e.g. of periodicals such as "Nature" or "Science") at the top of the results list and shows some results taken from a number of such catalogues that are already in operation.
