New version of SKA - v0.1.5

[DimPrawn]

Majestic search engine is early days - alpha release.

I don't think Google have anything to worry about just yet.

Somethings wrong with the paging.

Searched for "fish batter" (no quotes) - returned with "Results 1 - 10 of about 1,568 for fish batter".

Pages 1 - 9 fine. Page 10 only has 3 results. Pages 11 onwards are blank

AtW - why are you forcing users to use port 8888 to access the search engine?

Because port 80 is taken by the server and I want to make sure that those who crawl get best chance to communicate with server. Can integrate search engine into server itself, but I did not want to until its mature because don't want heavy search threads running in the same server.

I did a search for "blue faced boobies" - with the quotes.

Quotes are currently not supported (ignored) even though I have all proximity information in place to support them -- next version should support these.

Pages 1 - 9 fine. Page 10 only has 3 results. Pages 11 onwards are blank

Gotta investigate later, thanks for finding bug!

"QPR director gun" without quotes returns 6 sites totally unrelated to the events at QPR on the weekend.

Now this is likely due to the fact that currently "up-to-dateness" and "current events" are not search engine's strong points.

45 mln URLs that were loaded (700 mln+ more in archives that need to be processed) were processed in chronological order and currently relate to data collected up to end of January.

Are you using IIS?

You can use host headers to support multiple websites on port 80 using a single IP. But I guess you are using that Linux rubbish rather than rock solid secure and almost free Windows....

Wrong....!

[AtW]

Wrong....!

Missed this question -- I don't use IIS, I used my own mini webserver written from scratch, while I can easily support multiple hosts on the same port, I am not too keen to keep heavy search threads in lightweight server.

That said I expect to use port 80 for searches shortly.

[DimPrawn]

Wrong....!

In what way?

PS.

I am never wrong. Ask my wife.

AtW, are you running Linux as your host platform?

No it runs on Windows, but client was ported to Linux and I expect to have server ported to code that runs on Linux (using Mono) in matter of days if not hours.

Linux does not offer many advantages at this point to bother moving server.
