Parameters:

queryDefinition - The query definition that will be used by the IDfResultRater to compute the relevancy of results.

Returns:

An IDfResultRater.

Throws:

DfSearchException - If the query definition is not applicable to the result rater (the rater cannot compute any score for the query definition).
