The maximum number of stars is set by an attribute: <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#max_stars> which defaults to 4. As to why you do not see pages with 2 or 3 stars, it depends on the scoring factors and how the webpages are designed. On some websites, the backlink_factor may need tuning--it's set fairly high to favor pages that have a high number of pages pointing to them. <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#backlink_factor> The number of stars and $(PERCENT) are related--the highest score is given the maximum number of stars and a 100% rating. Then pages are rated relative to the score of that particular page. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ On Wed, 12 Sep 2001, Lei Liu wrote: > > Dear htdig tech, > > I am wondering why the htdig search results pages are ranked by stars are > always return 4 or 1 stars, no more other kind of star (2, or 3 or more than > 4) ...how to config it? and it seems not according to the keyword in the > original page, but ... i feel confuesd about the $(PERCENT) and > $(STARSLEFT)... pls give me hints thanks very much in advance > > Lucy > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
