There is a popularity factor at work, All CirrusSearch queries take into account the number of incoming links as part of a rescore on a few thousand of the top results. There are a few ways we can tweak this. All of the examples below use internal testing query parameters, i can't suggest using th

Thanks both! This clarifies a lot. I think the primary issue that editors had raised and I had hoped to explore was popularity/importance v. obscurity. Specifically, there have been concerns that the results tilt towards more popular articles (here

The more like code lives in elasticsearch, https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-mlt-query.html gives a decent rundown of the various parameters available.

Tilman, is it ok to cite "December 20, 2015 will forever be engraved in Wikimedia history as the first day where mobile pageviews surpassed desktop pageviews (51% vs. 49%)" on the Internetz? On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 2:46 PM, Oliver Keyes wrote: > Hey Tilman, > > I would really like to thank you f

Hi, Can someone on this list point me to where the more-like code sits? Or better, yet would be someone documenting the rules that govern prioritization of suggestions. I would like to document the logic for our communities so that we can have an open discussion about what variables and weighting

Hi all, this resumes the usual look at our most important readership metrics. Among other things, this time we observe the annual Christmas slump in pageviews, hail the advent of the mobile singularity (December saw the first ever day with >50% mobile pageviews), and resolve the mystery of the And
