Heh. In the end, everybody assigns different values to this type of information. What may have been nonsense for you may have been highly relevant for somebody else.

It might be relevant in some ongoing cross-thread dislike of commenter A for commenter B, but if I'm Joe Customer doing a search for "comments," and I get that, it means sweet fuck-all to me.

Oh no. Nothing against commenters. I see. “Nothing against commenters, but not one in 100 adds anything substantial to a post . . .”

Oh no. Nothing against commenters. I see.

That's going to be tough since we use other company's indexes (Google, Yahoo, MSN). We basically have to work with what they give us. However, what I can do is change it to Yahoo and see what happens to the results. Drop me a comment after you read this and tell me if the results change for the better. Blogs are also a different beast. You've got all this extra comment, and the search engines don't distinguish between what is the post and what is the comment. Hopefully, though, a centrist blog is going to have fewer of the inflammatory comments than most. Good comment. That’s going to be tough since we use other company’s indexes (Google, Yahoo, MSN).

I tried it; the technology seemed to work fine for me. However you might want to note that it's picking up comments as well as posts. And while a blog itself may be centrist (or left, or right) that's no guarantee its comments will be. E.g. One of the three it brought up for me was a rant about " fascist right wingers." Might save you some time and work to just limit it to posts, not comments. Nothing against commenters, but not one in 100 adds anything substantial to a post, and if you want to read the comments you can get to them once you pull up the post. It’s an interesting concept.
