7. A computer-implemented method for analysing search results in a data retrieval system comprising:
-
receiving one or more resource indicators each corresponding to one or more resources available through the data-retrieval system; further receiving an ordered list of search result items, from a search engine executing a search query, wherein the search result items are associated with a particular resource indicator; and determining the positioning of the received resource indicators within the ordered list of search result items;
wherein the positioning of the received resource indicators provides a measure of the effectiveness of retrieval of the received resource indicators from the data retrieval system by use of the search query. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
