There's one pretty big flaw with this approach... For certain searches that do not have "millions of results", you get completely unrelated results.
If I search my name then the results are for names similar to mine, but not actually my name. This makes it completely useless for searching my name. I would think that there are many searches with this problem.
I think there needs to be some kind of weighting system used that dynamically decides the cutoff point. One million is a huge over-generalization for all search terms.
- taxonomyman 14y agoThe number of results aren't a factor. We are removing results from sites that are in the list of top 1 million most popular web sites. Hope that helps.
- bstar77 14y agoAh, this seems to be the case. It looks like you are dropping my name down to "thousand from results" despite it still saying "million from results". Very nice!
