What does relevance mean in Library Search? How is that calculated? 

Answer

Search results are initially ranked by title and then by author.  You can adjust the ranking of results by adjusting the "sort by" option.  This filter adjustment is "sticky", meaning you need to manually change it once any adjustments have been applied.
