We have implemented a new clustering option, which groups together top ranked results from the same domain. The clustered results are shown indented, as you can see in the example below:
on the left with clustering off, using: /search?q=bbc&clufmt=0
on the left with clustering on, using: /search?q=bbc&clufmt=4
To use clustering use &clufmt=4 in the search URL. Currently you cannot use &clufmt=4 with &si (maximum number of results to return per site, per complete query result set).
For this feature to work, you might need to refresh to see the indentation; on:
Windows/Linux:
Chrome/Edge/Firefox: Press Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5
Mac:
Chrome/Firefox: Press Cmd + Shift + R
Safari: Press Option + Cmd + E to empty cache, then Cmd + R to reload
We expect to move this setting to be the default quite soon, so feedback would be appreciated. We havenât found any cases where it is undesirable, so if you come across one please let us know here, or using the âSubmit Feedbackâ, or by email.
+1 from me! Iâve enabled it and this is soooo much better.
Question: what are the implications for the Results per domain setting? Is it obsoleted, or will the default change from 1 to ~4? The value 4 makes me think itâs now 4 by default.
This update has made a dramatic improvement to my SERPs on Mojeek. I now feel like Iâm getting so much more out of the pages in Mojeekâs index because theyâre presented in a much better way.
(Still running into pages I want that arenât in the index yet, but Iâll keep submitting feedback!)
Agree. Iâm finding it useful for example on imdb searches where thereâs a closely matching film name that ranks, the clustering gives a closer page that I intended to visit. Means the target page although not ideally ranking, is a click away.
