On searching newsgroups and on search engines with ranking.
It seems to me that there are two possibilities of presenting the
result of the query to a user:
(1) Messages that are ranked higher appear in the beginning of the
summary buffer, lower ranked messages are put near the end. This
is what search engines have traditionally done.
(2) Use the scoring mechanism of Gnus to score highly relevant
messages higher. This gives the user a less intuitive feedback on
which mails are relevant and how relevant they are. But it
interacts better with threading. (After all, the probability is
high that a user wants to read more messages from the same thread
when one message of the thread has been found.)
The two alternatives conflict. I don't see how to resolve this
conflict.
Any ideas?
