Question: How does PowerSeek evaluate search results or how does it rank/match links?

Answer: Below is a fairly accurate explanation of how results are ranked or the formula being used.

Each keyword matched in a listing gets a score, according to the matches found. A match in the 'title' will provide a certain score. The description & keyword fields also has a certain score. AND and OR matching also plays a factor and AND matches are given a high score where OR matches does'nt really provide a good score. Phrase matches for example 'music videos' also receives a good score. Everything is added up for each link and sorted from most to least score. The links with the best scores are listed first and the links with the least are listed last.
