New version of searchvista is out!

New version features better search results, and faster search times. Next month (June 14th 2026), We will be trying out pagerank.

PageRank

PageRank is an algorithm for measuring a webpage's relative importance or authority based on its link structure. It works by treating links as "votes" where votes from more authoritative pages count more. So like if tilde.club is pointed to my 15 other sites, that means that tilde.club will have a higher score, and the score will be even better if the those 15 sites were pointed to by someone else, the more sites on the tree pointing torwards tilde.club the better score. Not all votes are equal because a site with many links dilutes its own power.
