Hi,

The question that I am posting in this group may be inappropriate and I
want to apologize for that.

I wouldn't say it's inappropriate, but I don't know if anyone here could say with certainty b/c the last time I checked GSA was not an open platform...



My question is, what is the relevance ranking algorithm which is used in
Google Search Appliance (GSA) because the search
  is predominantly on documents rather than web pages.

AFAIK, they use a Vector Space Model much as Lucene does, but you'd have to ask them as I don't have anything to point to other than I've heard others speculate it.




I appreciate if any of you can send me pointers to the algorithm used by
google.

Sorry, I don't have any. I would look through their docs. Or, just use Lucene/Solr and save yourself a bunch of money... ;-)

Vasu
