Wow, I never knew that! I have always assumed (as did "zhaoway") that the "quality" reflected something about the package, not about the search. > Yeah, and they should be fixed or removed! ;-) Agreed. At the very least, a single sentence at the top of the page that says "quality refers to the search, not the package" would be welcomed. Even better if the webmasters can find a blurb from the search engine that describes how it measures "search quality". Cc'd to the webmaster, in hopes that someone who can fix this will eventually read this email ... -Steve
