Actually, to add fuel to the fire, using nutch out of the box, searching for miserable failure yields the same thing. http://www.mozdex.com/search.jsp?query=miserablefailure --- Fuad Efendi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Nick, So this is why some search engines are not honest.

Do you run with fetchlist.score.by.link.count=true and indexer.boost.by.link.count=true? Anyway, that's how the PageRank is _supposed_ to work - it should give a higher score to sites that are highly linked, and also it should strongly consider the anchor text as an indication of the page's true subject ... ;-) -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com
Re: Halloween Joke at Google
We run with fetchlist.score.by.link.count=true and indexer.boost.by.link.count=true We haven't run a stand alone analyze, so it's how the database is updated when we run updatedb. (per the recommendations a few months back when it was found to be pretty darn close results!) Even though my scale is still much smaller than Googles, it is amazing how closely the results can match! Makes you wonder just how much of the net is usefull ;) -byron --- Andrzej Bialecki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Byron Miller wrote: Actually, to add fuel to the fire, using nutch out of the box, searching for miserable failure yields the same thing. http://www.mozdex.com/search.jsp?query=miserablefailure I'm curious... could you check if the anchors come from the same site, or from different sites?

Re: Halloween Joke at Google
hi Byron: Did you run LinkAnalysisTool to update score in the fetched segment? I guess that is the most accurate PageRank score, otherwise, in IndexSegment.java Nutch do score calculation based on the number of anchor links for source page.
