]##Matching
###Filtering Result list is filtered if the diagnosis string doesn't sub-contain every query word from the query string.
###Ranking We use the following score heuristic to determine ranking. If it's a substring score is added as per below formula, if not score is subtracted.
Score += (Ratio of matching query) * (Position of matching substring from the end)
