Which search engines return random pages? Search engines have pregenerated document lists stored in an efficient format for various criteria. Usually the presence or absence of a given keyword is the criterion of interest, but membership in a category can be handled in the same way. Since the list is pregenerated, the length is known, so you can choose a random offset into the category and perhaps even skip to that offset efficiently. Asher probably means that if Lucene doesn't have such a feature already, it could be patched in. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
