possibly stupid question

Post by LastLegend » Thu Mar 24, 2005 5:37 pm

What determines which video is placed first when running the search engine on this site. I'm asking this because my latest vid is far back on the list when I type in "Trunks". Just asking (plz don't flame).

If you typed it in the 'comments' box, the search looks at how many times that word apears, and where it appears on the vid page. So, a vid that has that word lots of times, with it in the title as well, will appear first.

If you have the search ordered by 'premiere date' or another setting, then that order will be affected that way. If you put it into the title, then you'll probably see the newest (or oldest - depending on whether you set it to ascending or not) vids first.

It really depends on how you set up the rest of the options. If you just typed it into the comments, it should give you the vid that has that word most often.

If you typed that into the quick search then it will undoubtly be near the end of the search. There are a number of factors that determine the order as many video information fields are searched for the words. With the shear number of dbz videos on the site I don't see your video comming up near the top of that list any time soon...
