Abstract
A computer receives a search request, wherein the search request contains one or more parameters that allow a search to be performed. Responsive to the search request, the computer identifies a plurality of web pages connected by a plurality of links. The computer determines the number of links in the longest path that connects at least a portion of the plurality of web pages, wherein the longest path includes a sequence of at least two web pages of the plurality of web pages connected by a link of the plurality of links. The computer determines the number of links included in a web page of the plurality of web pages.
Claims20
A method for determining characteristic parameters for web pages, the method comprising:
- a computer receiving a search request, wherein the search request contains one or more parameters that allow a search to be performed;
- the computer receiving a threshold value for a determined number of links in a longest path;
- responsive to performing the search, the computer identifying a plurality of web pages connected by a plurality of links;
- the computer determining a number of links included in a longest path that connects at least a portion of the plurality of web pages, wherein the longest path includes a sequence of at least two web pages of the plurality of web pages connected by a link of the plurality of links, wherein the longest path does not include a repetition of one or both of the links and web pages included in the longest path;
- and
- the computer determining a number of links included in a web page of the plurality of web pages.
A computer program product for determining characteristic parameters for search results, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a search request, wherein the search request contains one or more parameters that allow a search to be performed;
- program instructions to receive a threshold value for a determined number of links in a longest path;
- program instructions to, responsive to performing the search, identify a plurality of web pages connected by a plurality of links;
- program instructions to determine a number of links included in a longest path that connects at least a portion of the plurality of web pages, wherein the longest path includes a sequence of at least two web pages of the plurality of web pages connected by a link of the plurality of links, wherein the longest path does not include a repetition of one or both of the links and web pages included in the longest path;
- and
- program instructions to determine a number of links included in a web page of the plurality of web pages.
A computer system for determining characteristic parameters for search results, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a search request, wherein the search request contains one or more parameters that allow a search to be performed;
- program instructions to receive a threshold value for a determined number of links in a longest path;
- program instructions to, responsive to performing the search, identify a plurality of web pages connected by a plurality of links;
- program instructions to determine a number of links included in a longest path that connects at least a portion of the plurality of web pages, wherein the longest path includes a sequence of at least two web pages of the plurality of web pages connected by a link of the plurality of links, wherein the longest path does not include a repetition of one or both of the links and web pages included in the longest path;
- and
- program instructions to determine a number of links included in a web page of the plurality of web pages.
