I'm new to ht:/dig , but have seen the results of using it on one website. The thing is, the results are uneven on the website and similar word-counts and other factors result in reproducible but hugely variant scores (like 6.9344338 vs 2.2333322 with no visually recognizable differences in the pages or keywords). In the past, when I've worked on projects, one of the ways for me to see where changes produce effects was to manually calculate a few results and compare them to the output of the compiled program. However, while there is a page that outlines the weighting factors [Ranking pages and the use of Meta tags with ht://Dig], its description of the actual program is that the "htsearch... uses a complex rule to rank the pages." Is there some source for the "complex rule" in pseudocode or some other simplified presentation format, that explains...better yet, demonstrates the complex rule? Thanks for any help. If the only answer is to download the htsearch module, I'm about to do that...
