Search Result Weighting

I just made an update to the search result weighting algorithm. To keep the newest galleries on top, sites which were first indexed within the past three days are now given some extra weight. I’m a little worried that the extra processing will slow down the searching algorithm too much, but we’ll try this out for a while and see how it works. If nothing else, it’ll keep new galleries at the top of the search results.

I also made some adjustments to penalize keyword spammers. After a word shows up in a gallery too many times, a negative value is applied to the gallery which will lower it in the search rankings. The more the same word appears, the lower the gallery will sink.

As always, check out the advances at the little porn search engine that could :)
