These days? Sorry, TreKing's assessment of the Market search is adequate. The mere fact that they are tweaking it might mean it *could* get better. And the Android Market team works at Google's lunar base, where not even anyone else at Google hardly talks to them. It doesn't just matter the search algorithm that the Market uses - it also matters the title and description that the developers choose. That said, some of these results are strange enough that it might mean they are throwing in some randomness into the search to measure which things get clicked on. It wouldn't surprise me if Google started using other factors to rank search besides keyword relevance. I mention this as a fun theory; they aren't going to tell us what the ranking factors are. Have they ever released their full search algorithm for Google.com? Nope. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
