This is a complicated question and one with lots of active research. Could generate good discussion! – Ian Soboroff Mar 20 '12 at 13:34

Nice to have a discussion of tradeoffs about this topic – Gene Golovchinsky Mar 20 '12 at 21:29

Per the FAQ, it might be best to rephrase this as, "How can I use the 10k queries and clicks in my log to improve my site search?" – Ian Soboroff Mar 22 '12 at 20:33

Would some of those who voted for this question move their votes to other questions (maintaining at least 10 votes on this one!) so that we can get reach our quota of questions with 10 votes? – Gene Golovchinsky Mar 27 '12 at 19:35

Please distribute your votes to other questions to maximize the number of questions with 10 votes. Votes over 10 don't help at this stage. If you voted for a question, the up-vote button is shown in red; click on it again to remove your vote. – Gene Golovchinsky Mar 28 '12 at 18:04

If someone (just one person) could un-upvote this question and vote on other questions, that almost have 10 points, this site would move to the next phase... – woliveirajr Sep 6 '12 at 14:23

<comments removed> Please do not use comments to answer these questions. Comments are here to discuss and improve the viability of the proposed question. This is a proposal and not a Q&A site. – Robert Cartaino♦ Mar 20 '12 at 16:59

this discussion may look like this one on stackoverflow. a good answer is linked from one of the answers. this blogpost from someone who has already done such customization. more such comments from experienced IR people will help. – balajinix Mar 21 '12 at 5:10

Should this site go down the path of supporting users of Nutch, Lucene, Solr, etc etc, or is it aiming for a more researchy level? We should have a FAQ that links these questions to those developers' sites and forums. – Ian Soboroff Mar 21 '12 at 20:10

StackOverflow already supports specific tool API questions; seems like we should differentiate this site to be more researchy. Would a different standard for what is a good answer be useful here? – Gene Golovchinsky Mar 22 '12 at 21:21

There are only 25 questions regarding FAST on Stackoverflow, and just a handful regarding Autonomy, so clearly Stackoverflow is not a popular forum for these commercial search tools. A dedicated site, such as this, would provide better answers and scores, and a way to compare the same or similar questions across search engines. – Jeff Bloom Mar 28 '12 at 15:22

	This is an attempt to rephrase the question about user studies. Transfer your votes here if you think this works better. – Ian Soboroff Mar 22 '12 at 17:22
	Can you provide a link to the original question? I can't seem to find it in the list – Gene Golovchinsky Mar 22 '12 at 20:53
	That's because I deleted it so I could add another question. – Ian Soboroff Mar 23 '12 at 13:21

This is somehow ment to replace the "What textbooks to use for and undergraduate IR course?" question ... Is this one specific and narrow enough? – Matthias Hagen Mar 23 '12 at 10:22
