A little more info about that these values mean

DefinitionResults render in the standard Search Center results user interface as “What people are saying about <term>”. These results are automatically inferred by the linguistic processing built into the indexing process. The smaller your index, the less likely you are to get a result of this type.
SharePoint Product documentation calls the feature that collects these definitions either “Definition Extraction” or “Discovered Definitions”

HighConfidenceResults render in the standard Search Center results user interface within the HighConfidenceResults web part. These are items that the query processor deems to be a logically exact match for the query term. In my experience, items will show up there if you query term exactly matches the title property of the item. For instance, if you type a person’s full name exactly as it appears in their profile record. Unlike Best Bets – these are not configured answers, the query engine decides what is showing up here, and the items come from the index.

None seems to mean “I have no preference, return any type of results you find” – it is possible to get back a response from the web service that contains more than one result type.

RelevantResults render in in the standard Search Center results user interface within the Core Results web part. These are also sometimes called organic results or index item results.

SpecialTermResults render in the standard Search Center results user interface within the Best Bets web part. These items come only from the Search Keywords list. You’ll never get index item results (a.k.a. organic resuls) in here.
