Discrepancy between number of stars #31

Open jamiewilson opened 8 years ago

jamiewilson commented 8 years ago

I noticed that there's always a difference between the number of stars a repo has in the search results and the number of stars displayed on the repo itself. I'm guessing that the results don't reflect Unstars or something like that, cause it's always more than the actual count.

@jamiewilson you're right, we don't collect Unstars for now; not sure that explains it all because the diff seems pretty high :/ Need to dig more into githubarchives.org data to confirm.

Cool. For now though, I'll just assume that the search results number is the correct one. It gave some of my projects a pretty nice bump :)

@jamiewilson ahah indeed :) We use the number of stars for relevance purpose, so it's not a big deal if the values are not super up-to-date but better if we can ensure we don't have too much difference.
