Well, I would rather like to have visibility into the ranking algorithm, and to be able to control the resultset ordering.
- not2b 4y agoSo would the SEO people. But even disregarding that problem, to have a halfway decent search ranking you're going to need deep learning, and you'll get a model that is largely opaque.
- denton-scratch 4y agoHeh! You've mistaken me for a marketer, I think. When I said I wanted control over the ranking, I meant as a user. Tell me what parameters I can rank on; give me a UI that makes it reasonably easy to express a ranking. That's it. I hope UI design and stuff is orthogonal to the construction of an open index. I think this could be very interesting.
