Limiters on Sites

The Spider, Selection on Keywords, Limiters on Words, Limiters on Sites, Displaying Sites.
  Based on the keywords, we will get a large number of sites which may give our answer. Now we add limits on the sites themselves. These selectors are displayed with the same type of histograms as used for the word-limiters. The display of the site-limiter's details overlaps the display of the word-limiters, to save screen-space.

The following limiters are currently planned:

  • External links per kb text. Indexing sites can be your special interest, or just not what you are looking for. The number of links to external sites is shown.
  • Number of images per kb text. Do we want someone's holiday photo's or documentation about this beautiful island in the Pacific?
  • Size of the site in kb text. Large site are often more serious and are better maintained, but small sites can be more inspiring.
  • Quality of the site. The quality of a site is a subjective figure which may combine information about
    • the frequency of site-update,
    • the detected availability of the site,
    • the existence of meta-keyword and meta-description for the pages; and
    • the quality of HTML used.
