Barry Schwartz’s Search Engine Relevancy Challenge is still going strong at
RustySearch. How’s it going so far? He’s had 5,000 rated search so far and gives an update here:
RustySearch Hits 5,000 Rated Searches.
I like the cool little "search engine relevancy dials" he’s added to show how each service is doing. Here’s the non-cool bullet point rundown:
- Yahoo, 3.4
- Google, 3.4
- Ask, 3.3
- MSN, 3.1
What do those numbers mean? A score of 1 is poor, while a score of 5 is excellent. So overall, everyone’s pretty much average. More details are in his
post, and don’t forget to participate by trying RustySearch.
