Enhancements to Search Results

Over the past couple of weeks we have been enhancing the search engine to improve the search results. Improvements have been in two areas:

• Better handling of navigation text--Navigation text is tricky because it often appears on many pages. The index now treats most navigation text as though it were actually on the page being linked to.
• Better handling of duplicate pages--The search engine now looks at the actual search snippet instead of the whole page. Duplicate snippets are now eliminated.

Let us know how you like the changes. We will be tuning the results based on feedback.
