I'm trying to crowd results by a single attribute and contrary to my expectations I get less results with increasing crowding value which is supposed to allow more results that have the same attribute value.
Example of this behavior uses following query while varying crowding value from 1-3. Value 2 returns more results than 1 but value 3 returns considerably less results!? My expectations is that allowing same upc to appear multiple times you should get more results. http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets/-/products?bq=seagate+freeagent[target country:us][condition:new]&crowdby=upc(text):3 $ curl "http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets/-/products?bq=seagate +freeagent%5btarget+country%3aUS%5d%5bcondition%3anew%5d&crowdby=upc (text)%3a1" | xmllint --format - | grep "g:upc" | wc 18 36 792 $ curl "http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets/-/products?bq=seagate +freeagent%5btarget+country%3aUS%5d%5bcondition%3anew%5d&crowdby=upc (text)%3a2" | xmllint --format - | grep "g:upc" | wc 20 40 880 $ curl "http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets/-/products?bq=seagate +freeagent%5btarget+country%3aUS%5d%5bcondition%3anew%5d&crowdby=upc (text)%3a3" | xmllint --format - | grep "g:upc" | wc 2 4 88 In addition to that running query directly in a browser (first example) is producing different number of results (5-7) than curl and URL encoded query string (2-4). I expect some variation in results but relative difference is consistent. Any ideas why I get less results with crowdby=upc(text):3 (compared to values 1 and 2) and why there is a difference in results between browser (Firefox 3.0) and curl?
