Hi all,
we have re-build our web site and re-indexed the site to the new db and it actually worked fine. Everything is working fine. My suggestions are: either there was a corruption in all of our files or for some reason the contents of the database was not rewritten when we were trying to re-index it. But, we can say the problem was resolved and all I can offer are these two solutions. Our new web site will go live some time next week, so hopefully indexing do not deteriorate by then ;-) Natalija -----Original Message----- From: Gilles Detillieux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 August 2002 18:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [htdig] text_factor: 0 but it still being picked up According to Natalija Stevens: > here are two documents attached, one is the txt copy of config file an d the > other one is the document that on fuzzy search on word "pensions" have > scored 4 stars. > The web site address is www.suffolkcc.gov.uk, but this obviously is not the > "surface" file. > > If you do look at it, htdig is used under quick search.

Is that why, for example, a search for "pensions" doesn't also match "pension", even though in your test config you have set... search_algorithm: exact:1 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1 I did notice that in the PDF file you sent me, "pensions" appears 5 times, and "pension" appears 20 times, so that would help the document rank higher. However, it wouldn't account for it ranking so much higher than a document with "pensions" in the title. What about link descriptions to these PDF files? Have you tried setting description_factor: 0? How about backlink_factor: 0? > Factor settings are running on their defaults there. > If you type in pensions as the search, you'll noticed that all of the pdf > and docs, come first.

Well, apart from what I've suggested above, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Maybe someone else on the list who's looked more closely at the new scoring code can offer some suggestions? Have you ruled out any incompatibilities between your htsearch and the databases created by htdig? I.e. are you sure the htsearch you run from the web server is from the same CVS snapshot as the htdig binary you're running? I assume this is all on the same machine too, is it? -- Gilles R.
