Inktomi Relevance Report

Judging relevance for search engine results is a very subjective judgement many times. All the search engines give relevant results for some searches and irrelevant results for others, and even more often, they mix the two. And many searchers would rate the same results at a different score. Be that as it may, Veritest offers up a new report on search engine relevance in which Inktomi has a slight lead over Google. Older reports are available for Inktomi, AltaVista, and Google. They all make for interesting reading, and the Inktomi results should be a reminder to try the Inktomi database at HotBot or MSN Search.
