https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space_model might be a replacement candidate for the broken link?

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly.
Replaced broken link with appropriate Wikipedia page.
Thanks for the suggestion, Hartmut!

Since 2014 http://www.miislita.com is a search engine site. The resource cited above (http://www.miislita.com/term-vector/term-vector-1.html) was moved to its sister site and is now available at 

http://www.minerazzi.com/tutorials/term-vector-1.pdf

with its content updated and improved. The old link now redirects permanently to the new one.

The MySQL implementation of the vector space model described in MySQL Internals Manual Section 10.7 is systematically explained in the updated version of the tutorial series at 

http://www.minerazzi.com/tutorials/term-vector-5.pdf

On other matters, we would like to mention of the following broken link in the MySQL Internal Manuals, Section 10.7: 

http://ir.iit.edu/~dagr/cs529/files/handouts/singhal96pivoted.pdf

As an alternative, any of the following can be used instead as they all deal with pivoted normalization:

Correction:
Scratch "pivoted" from the line that reads

"As an alternative, any of the following can be used instead as they all deal with pivoted normalization:"

True that the last three links provided discuss document length normalization, but only the first one is about pivoted normalization. My fault.
