Cloud

Tonight I'm working on a tag cloud based upon the number of db entries for terms. I use row variables, add them up for each row, sort in ascending order. Then I display the top ten terms inside a panel with label.Font.Size = value for each one's row. So I get size relevancy to the number of times a term was searched. In the future I will have to come up with a scaling factor because I can't have 567 point text.

I actually had to use a decrement in the for loop because I was "rolling down the stack" to make room for the newest highest searched entries.

Not back to the spider yet

What I'm working on tonight is how to rank my results while finding them in the db. Basically, the number of terms found in a result gives a higher rank. Then I plan to sort an array depending on rank for display purposes.

I was just reflecting the other day that there is an AI component to my search machine.
