How do you work out moonrise search results from what I type in?
When you type your post into the pink box, moonrise breaks up your post into fragments. These fragments or tags are worked out using the Yahoo! term extractor. We use these terms to send off a search with those terms to FlickR’s API (ranked by interestingness) and YouTube’s API, and QB’s database.
How we plan to improve this:
- We aim to show you which tags have been picked to get a search result, with a cross next to each tag, so that you can remove that tag from the search result. This will help you find better media with a more open search if you type a long post which might have too many terms e.g. “I feel great today because the new Fiat Panda has come home - Jonny loves it!”
- Question - should the tags that get posted with your post be the same tags you used to get your search results? At the moment, you can’t pick tags, they are inserted for you.
