What does the "weight" of PyPI search results mean when choosing a package?

When I look for “XML parsing” in PyPI , consistent results are listed according to “weight”. When I hover over the "weight", it says "the appearance of a search term, weighted by field (name, resume, keywords, description, author, maintainer)."

  • What does "field-weighted (name, resume, keywords, description, author, maintainer)" mean?

  • Ideally, does a package really take a higher place than better than the package below?

Thank.
