There's some notes on the internals of Lucene-search here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Rainman/search_internals "Article content" presumably is the same as the image description in our context. I don't know quite what the "rank" metric would mean in the Commons context - presumably, only links from local pages on Commons count? It may be that more controversial images provoke more meta-discussion, with more links to them as a result (from talkpages, deletion discussions, etc) and so are more likely to appear "popular" to the search system, but that's just a guess. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
