Official Announcements / Re: ZillaRank: An improved search for smf forum
« on: July 27, 2007, 03:31 PM »
DC search got another update yesterday to improve unsatisfactory (IMO :P) ranking algorithm.
Special Thanks to jgpaiva for reporting cases where topics were not ranked fairly and for helping us testing candidate scripts. :Thmbsup:
Among other optimizations, a few new content-based factors have been introduced to penalize/award matching topics individually to give more accurate (relative) relevancy.
For search query "donation", results generated by original SMF 1.1.3 search script:
And results generated by our working DC search:
Well, I'm sure there's is still plenty of room for search improvement -- I'm happy to look into problems to work out updates in the short time possible, if needed, anytime. So do not hesitate to post feedback/bug report here!! TIA :Thmbsup:
