Website Title filter

[peterwebster]

Hi @anjackson : could you confirm how the Website Title facet field is derived ? That everything contained within the host news.bbc.co.uk probably has Website Title = BBC News ?

If so, I think it is not being applied at the minute: see

http://www.webarchive.org.uk/shine/search/advanced?query=%22rowan+williams%22&action=search&websiteTitle=BBC+News&sort=content_type_norm&order=asc

I thought that these were picking up the term 'BBC' and 'News' from the page title, but that doesn't seem to explain all the results.

If I use a exact phrase, that suggests that it is indeed searching the page title. http://www.webarchive.org.uk/shine/search/advanced?query=%22rowan+williams%22&action=search&websiteTitle=%22BBC+News%22&sort=content_type_norm&order=asc

Although, the results are not the same when I query the Page Title with the same term, so it isn't a simple copying error between fields.

I'll have another look at these test cases.

@kinmanli to confirm what is happening

[peterwebster]

OK: this search is (I think) for 'BBC' and 'News' from anywhere in the page title:

http://www.webarchive.org.uk/shine/search/advanced?query=%22rowan+williams%22&sort=content_type_norm&sort=content_type_norm&order=asc&websiteTitle=BBC%20News&tab=results&action=search&mode=

but I don't understand the 8th result: 'Cynical Chatter from the Underworld: BBC'

After looking at the exact phrase, it does seem clear that this is looking at the page title. So, we ought to think about renaming the field to 'Page Title' (not a perfect fit, but less misleading to than Website Title.) What does @anjackson think ?

[anjackson]

Agreed, rename to Page Title or Resource Title.
