+"""Plugin which reranks the search results using the Okapi BM25 algorithm.
+Before enabling the Rerank plugin, you must the install the pip package ``bm25s``.
+
+Enable in ``settings.yml``:
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+  enabled_plugins:
+    ..
+    - 'Rerank plugin'
+
+By default, the engine list is retained, so results found by multiple engines receive a score boost.
+The following setting can be used to ensure that the engine list only contains the first engine.
+This will prevent overlapping search engine results from affecting the ranking:
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+  rerank:
+    remove_extra_engines: true
