We have a problem which we solved but not very good:(
so here was the problem..
When we have indexed many websites . When we search let's say "car" i get many results from the same website. What i wanted is to show only the most higher in ranking for one domain.
If i did not make my self clear let's give it these way:
search "car"
for domain "cars" it will show up 20 results
for domain "oldcars" it will show up 20 results

what i want is to show up like these:
for domain "cars" it will show up 1 result(the most relevant)
for domain "oldcars" it will show up 1 result(the most relevant)

i have solved the problem by rebuilding the search i have created a new php code for the search but i got an enourmous time increasing like +90%

waiting your oppinions.........

What is ranking? Who do you know what the user will find ? Perhaps he don't search the most relevant, he is interested for the resultpage like 20%.

Ranking on a Website with Fulltextsearch is silly IMHO, you don't know what people will find....

i don't think it's k to see 20 results on the first search page with links to the same website..
if you search in google or any other search engine you will find that will show up only max. 2 results from the same website ( i mean on the first page) and not 20 ..

Hi. In the config file from version 1.6.4+ is the following:

define('NUMBER_OF_RESULTS_PER_SITE',-1); //max number of results per site
// use -1 to display all results
