Google Share

Implementation of Google Share, as come up with by Steven Berlin Johnson. Type a domain (ie. Beatles), and some Items (John, Paul, Ringo, George) and you get a list of their relative popularity within that domain.

domain (popularity within what)
items (separate by enters)
 

Great tool, but resolves with errors
by Gregory Kohs
This is a very useful tool. However, I have performed several searches that I know (from manually testing in Google) that should produce results, but generate the following error:

Error Type: ValueError
Error Value: min() or max() arg is an empty sequence

It sure would be nice if this could be fixed, or at least cleaned up with a better explanation.

Percentages higher than 100%?
by Gregory Kohs
Also, I see that in some searches where an uncommon word is the domain, and more common items are the members, the output can result in items being given percentages higher than 100%. That can't be possible.

The number of pages with the word "alpha" cannot be more than the number of pages with both the words "alpha" and "beta"!

Rather, the converse
by Gregory Kohs
What I meant to say was:

The number of pages with both the words "alpha" and "beta" cannot be more than the number of pages with just the word "alpha".

It's been a long week.

help
by Bill
I don't get the domian Part it is coming up with errors. Or I just don't get what you mean here.

you had it right...
by
gregory kohs... you had it right the first time. if there are 1000 pages with the word "alpha" in them, then logically there MUST be more than 1000 pages with "alpha and beta".

because every page that said "alpha and beta" was included in the "alpha" listing already.

No, he's right
by Mark
No, the search string "alpha AND beta" will return less results than the search string "alpha" because the engine will search for pages that include both the word alpha AND the word beta. So basically it will search the results of the search for "alpha" and search for "beta within those results.
It's called Boolean Operators. Like, 7th grade.

Alpha Bete Gaga
by Joe
But if you search for Gaga, does that show the results for the alpha and the bete or just the alpha aswell as the gaga which must be searched for as that was the domain typed in in the first place

Love Search
by Joey
I searched under the domain 'Love'.
I started with the Beatles, then expanded
And lo and behold, George Bush was more loved than Jesus Christ! This is very confusing, perhaps he was in the news more or something.

George Bush
by zzzzach
The reason "George Bush" appears so highly on everyone's results is because George Bush already appears on basically every webpage in the world. So the likelihood of him sharing a webpage with your word is pretty good regardless of what the word is.

by
zzzzach is right: here
http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/83810.html
I proposed a solution.

With my algorithm, you have this results for "sexy":
Tom Cruise 0.65%
George Bush 0.23%

- BTW, you should use quotation marks, i.e.
"George Bush"
and not
George Bush
If you do this, you have a right Googleshare:
"Tom Cruise" 0.7%
"George Bush" 0.5%
(I haven't used in my previous example, just to show that my algorithm is better)

A better Googleshare
by milivella
(The last comment was mine) The new formula and its possible applications (including an encyclopedia wide as the web, a wikipedia that rewards the best utents, a network of everything) are described here:

Error message
by Brian
I'd love to play around with this, but when I try I get the following error:

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'float' and 'NoneType'

What's going on? None of the other hacks on the page work for me either; I get a variety of error messages. Is the interface between your site and Google down?
