Yes, the weight assigned to link description text is controlled by
the description_factor attribute, and can be changed quite easily.
Interestingly, this document ranked quite a bit higher than the
HTML document that had "What I would like to Be" right in the title.
The default description_factor is larger than the default title_factor,
but I wonder if that alone would account for the different rankings.
I also noticed that the word "would" didn't get highlighted in the
excerpts, so I assume it was added to the bad_words file. That may have
affected the scoring too.
