I m a search engineer among other things. New update is weird, especially ranking. try 'machine learning', gets something from a year ago then Stanford class from 2011, really ? If you re dealing with 10M entries in the index this is low enough that ranking should be better.

I know how perfect tuning these engine as is difficult, and this one requires some more work ;) good luck and congrats for YC 14 anyways!



For now, the ranking is only based on the number of points/comments of an item. We're actually working on a way to include the freshness of a post. Thanks for the support ;)


solr/ES would do that almost out of the box. how does your stuff differ or make it simpler (besides cloud) ?
