Dennis Kubes commented on NUTCH-574:
------------------------------------
So I think what we are really saying is this. It would be good to make this a
plugin and we really don't know what would be the best way to score this right
now, but it would be good to experiment with it and find out. So I am going to
make a generic plugin that turns indexing anchor text on and off. I am also
going to create a new extension point from this that will allow creating
scoring algorithms for indexing anchor text. That way we can play around.
> Including inlink anchor text in index can create irrelevant search results.

> Currently the basic indexing filter includes inbound anchor text for a given
> URL in the index. This sometimes allows pages to show up in search results
> where they may not be relevant. An example of this is a search for "dallas
> hotels" in our production index (www.visvo.com). Google would show up first
> in this example although there is no text matching either dallas or hotels on
> the google home page. What is happening here is there are inlinks into
> google with the words dallas and hotels which get included in the index for
> google.com and because google would have a very high boost due to inlinks,
> google shows up first for these search terms. I propose we add an option to
> allow/prevent inlink anchor text from being included in the index and set the
> default for this option to NOT include inbound link anchor text.
