Yes, I think there would be some benefit in this. As I see it, this comes back to the "href text" modifications. I had a working version of this some months back but it got put on hold while I re-wrote libaspseek and the PHP module and I haven't come back to it as yet. I think that was at version 1.2.6 so I have some work to do to bring the patch up to date. I had also started to implement domain name words using a slightly modified ternary tree of dictionary words to decompose the domain string into words. Currently there is no space to support custom tags within the word indexes (all combinations of the 2 bits assigned for this are used) however with the href text modifications this will be extended to 4 bits of which the msb will indicate "Body" leaving 3 usable bits. Out of this will be assigned "Title", "Description", "Keywords", "HREF Text" and "Domain Words" leaving 3 unused slots. I agree that the order of relevance and the overall weight of these should be configurable. I'd like to get the href text additions into the devel tree but I'm not sure of a timeframe for this yet. I'm cross posting this to aseek-devel since I think the thread should be continued there. Matt.
