| SnX MetaSearch algorithm |
| by snakes on 2005/9/13 15:04:45 Hi there, I've just finished my SnX MetaSearch module. It is a XOOPS 2.x module that send your search request to multiple search engine (Google, Yahoo, Altavista & Lycos) and then analyse their response. The algorithm I use is adding points to each URL depending on their position in the search engine page. Thus when a url is on the first position (position = 0) its points are $points = 10 - $position; here $points will be equal to 10. If it is on 3rd position its points will be 10-2 = 8. Example: For a given URL. Here are its positions: Google: 1st Yahoo: 3rd Altavista: 2nd Lycos: 4th Its points will be: Google: 10-0 = 10 Yahoo: 10-2 = 8 Altavista: 10-1 = 9 Lycos: 10-3 = 7 Its total points will be: 10+8+9+7 = 34 I then order the display by the points value.
