Will webinator hit META HTTP-EQUIV="KEYWORDS" CONTENT=" tags, or daes
the script have to be modified to hit them. I have no control over
modifying the script and don't want to start meta tagging.

gw does not index meta data by default. You specify what, if any, meta
fields you want stored and indexed by using the -meta option. Once stored,
any meta data in the database will be searched along with Title and Body.

I'm glad someone brought this up, as I keep having people ask --
How does webinator determine ranking?

Is it number of occurances, location in the document, or some other
special thng it does?

(Ours is also searching keywords & description meta tags)

The ranking algorithm is somewhat complex, plus every aspect can be
tailored. see: http://www.thunderstone.com/texisman/node59.html for
a discussion of the Texis 'likep' ranking search.

The following are considered:

Matching term cluster proximity

Matching term cluster ordering

Matches in document vs freq in corpus

Freq of term/phrase in corpus

Cluster distances from begin of indexed field(s)


The text index in Webinator is created against the Title\Meta\Body
combination of fields. This means that with the default 'lead-biasing'
factor the Title has the most importance, then Meta data, then the page
content. What this means is that if all other factors about a result
ranking are identical then Webinator will deem an answer in the
Title with a higher weight than one in the body of the html.

My wife's MRI just showed a deformation of the corpus callosum (apparently congenital) with a thinning in the posterior region. It is causing some cognitive anomalies misdiagnosed for 30 - 40 years. I am looking for charted or textual data that may shed light on the mechanics of regional dysfunction.
