During the course of TREC{1 the low-level search functions were split o into a separate Basic Search System (BSS) [2], but retrieval and ranking of documents was still done using the \classical" probabilistic model of Robertson and Sparck Jones[7] with no account taken of document length or term frequency within document or query. Four runs were submitted to NIST for evaluation: automatic ad hoc, automatic routing, manual ad hoc and manual ad hoc with feedback. The results were undistinguished, although not among the worst. Of the ad hoc runs, the manual was better than the automatic (in which only the CONCEPTS elds of the topics were used), and feedback appeared bene cial.
