Improving ranking for one-keyword official homepage matches

YaCy
1

I’ve noticed that for most searches I’m making, I’m not seeing the official homepage of those things in the first five or more pages.

For example if I search for “Python” then https://www.python.org/ is very far down the list. Same goes for VLC, Rust and other FOSS projects. (YaCy also doesn’t display anything as the page’s description, even though the page has a meta description set, which is a bit weird)

Is there a way to rank those homepages first, even if it’s just for my node?

Hi,
i don’t know the solution, but, take a look at Search Portal Integration > Ranking and heuristics (or /RankingSolr_p.html). There you can set the boost and boost queries.

There is even some documentation: Definition of Ranking Rules.

Hope that could help.
