Extension description spamming

Post by Chamira Athauda » Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:16 pm

The basic JED search results order seems to rely on the number of times the search keyword appears in the description.

How else can you explain this? http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=facebook

Look at the first item, an extension that has 3 reviews but a hundred mentions of 'facebook' in its description.

I think this abusing the system, but JED Guidelines are not clear in this.

Should I report such blatant spamming?

I checked JED, there are really plenty of spam in description, same for word like ''twitter, gallery'' ... and any popular words.

In this case function ''search'' show really irelevant results where first are spamy developers, which probably will be not so good extension, bc. locigaly, they need to spam.

I hope ... with coming nex JED component it will be fixed.
