13.5 Slightly Meets (SM) A rating of Slightly Meets is assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for some or few users. Slightly Meets results may serve a minor interpretation, be low quality, have stale or outdated information, have some minor inaccuracies, be too specific, too broad, too niche for the general user population considering the query, etc. to receive a higher rating. Important note: Many users decide which result to click or tap on based on the title of the web result on the search results page. (Note that these titles usually come from webpages.) A result with a very misleading or exaggerated title should be rated Slightly Meets or lower, due to the poor user experience that occurs when the landing page does not match the expectation of the user when clicking or tapping on the result. 13.5.1 Examples of Slightly Meets (SM) Result Blocks

Slightly Meets Explanation
Query: [britney spears] User Intent: Find information about Britney Spears (e.g., current news, pictures). Query: [honda odyssey] User Intent: We will assume that users are interested in the current Honda Odyssey model, unless specified otherwise.
The LP of this web result has a 2006 article about Britney Spears filing for divorce. This is very old, stale news, making the result helpful for few users. Although the LP has comprehensive information from a reputable source, the information is about the 2010 Honda Odyssey. This information would be considered stale for the query today, making this result helpful for some or few users. The LP of this web result is about the movie <Hot Dog,= which came out in 1984 and is a minor interpretation of this query. Because this is an unlikely interpretation, this web result would be helpful for few users, even though the landing page has good content from a reputable source. This result provides contact information for one of the two motorcycle shops in Potsdam, New York. It is possible this would be helpful for some users, but many users would be looking for information. Additionally, there is distracting information (a listing for an insurance agent).
Query: [hot dog] User Intent: Find information about hot dogs, such as recipes or nutrition information.
