[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- Much of the problem comes from the fact that Wikidata lacks the necessary text to build the relevance of the article, we need something else. Without this it will be somewhat random which entries turns up first and last. One way around is to do the searching in Wikipedia and use the hits and ranking from there as hints for an internal search similar to "ItemByTitle". That way we get working relevance ranking by borrowing the values from Wikipedia. The remaining problem is how we should solve this for languages with very few articles. We could do it the other way around and check relevance in Wikipedia for items found by searching for labels. That would work for all items that has any sitelinks, as we can use the highest ranking article anyhow. Something like a prefixed termsearch getting a list of items, then getting the relevance for the wikipedia articles, then sorting out the highest ranking articles. Mjæ.. To just throw up the ItemByTitle unmodified is in my opinion not a very good solution. This should probably be done as a modification of the existing opensearch module as it will operate much faster that way. Still we should at some point build our own result sets from searches, but then we need to figure out how to make the relevance ranking working. The reason is that we can't jump out and search in Wikipedia for the stored queries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
