Today the EveKnows.com search suggestion module got an update. Previously it had been based on the words detected in galleries; while this seemed to make sense, it didn’t work out well in practice. I’m using aspell to handle the dictionary lookup, so words weren’t weighted based on their popularity. The new system still uses aspell, but it draws its dictionary from previous user queries. The basic premise here is that more people will search for the proper spelling of a porn star or phrase than for any particular misspelling, which will keep the desired results on top. If anyone notices any problems, please leave a comment explaining the issue.
Recently I made some adjustments to EveKnows, resulting in release 1.3. The changes have mostly been behind the scenes, but should lead to more accurate searches. If you notice any problems with the site, please leave a comment explaining the issue so that it can be resolved.
Also, I’ve added a Recent Searches feature, allowing you to view the 1,000 latest queries. They’re sorted chronologically, not by popularity.
