Cross posted from IRC: Hello folks,
I have a gripe about the charm store search. Mostly because its really badly weighted towards recommended charms, and finding what you(an end user wants is really hard unless they know what they are doing). Take this example: https://jujucharms.com/q/pentaho Now I'm writing a charm called Pentaho Data Integration, so why do I have to scroll past 55 recommended charms that have nothing to do with what I have looked for? But https://jujucharms.com/q/etl Shows me exactly what I need at the top, with no recommended charms blocking the view. So I guess its weighted towards tags, then names, sorta. Im not against recommended charms being dumped at the top, they are recommended after all but it appears the ranking could be vastly improved. Off the top of my head a ranking combo of something like, keyword relevance, recommended vs non recommended, times deployed, age, tags and last updated. would give a half decent weighting for the charms and would hopefully stop 55 unrelated charms appearing at the top of the list. Now I guess, I could dump pentaho in as a tag to get me top of the SEO rankings, but it seems like generally the method could be improved as the amount of charms increases, quite plausibly using something like Apache Nutch to crawl the available charms and build a proper search facility would improve things.
