Dawid Weiss commented on NUTCH-134:
-----------------------------------

(back from holidays, so a bit delayed, but) I confirm Andrzej's suggestion -- a 
plain-text only summarized is ideal for clustering for example. HTML is quite 
uncomfortable to work with.

> Summarizer doesn't select the best snippets

> Summarizer.java tries to select the best fragments from the input text, where 
> the frequency of query terms is the highest. However, the logic in line 223 
> is flawed in that the excerptSet.add() operation will add new excerpts only 
> if they are not already present - the test is performed using the Comparator 
> that compares only the numUniqueTokens. This means that if there are two or 
> more excerpts, which score equally high, only the first of them will be 
> retained, and the rest of equally-scoring excerpts will be discarded, in 
> favor of other excerpts (possibly lower scoring).
> To fix this the Set should be replaced with a List + a sort operation. To 
> keep the relative position of excerpts in the original order the Excerpt 
> class should be extended with an "int order" field, and the collected 
> excerpts should be sorted in that order prior to adding them to the summary.
