 `position_linear`:::
 `weightFieldValue * (1 - 0.10*position)`: Matches to the start will be given a higher score. This is the default.
 `position_reciprocal`:::
-`weightFieldValue / (1 + position)`: Matches to the start will be given a score which decay faster than linear.
+`weightFieldValue / (1 + position)`: Matches to the start will be given a higher score. The score of matches positioned far from the start of the suggestion decays faster than linear.

-`weightFieldValue / pow(1 + position,exponent)`: Matches to the start will be given a score which decay faster than reciprocal.
