[Xapian-discuss] Xapian's scoring/sorting compared to Google's

[Henry]

Greets,

For the sake of argument and general discussion, let's assume you have  
a value similar to Google's PageRank which you use for secondary  
sorting (ie, relevance first, then pagerank).

Is this the best approach to use for sorting (to approach the general  
results of Google in a simplistic fashion)?  My gut impression from  
Google results is that this is /roughly/ what they're doing, or am I  
wrong?  Is Google sorting by PageRank first, *then* result relevance?

Any comments?

Thanks
Henry
