More wine content milestones
Scrugy continues to grow as the Internet’s best resource for wine information. As of today Scrugy has over 6.3 million pages in its index from wine related sites. That’s right! When you perform a search on Scrugy, you’re results will always be about wine and will come from the Internet’s largest resource of wine information. And when you combine Scrugy’s immense web search capabilities with a blog search engine covering over 130,000 wine related posts, why would you trust your wine searches to any other site?

I think we’re all tired of reading about that Linux application that lets you run Windows programs, which just happens to be called “wine”.
Even if I search for “linux” at Scrugy, nearly all of the results are wine- (the drink) related. Nice work.

Yeah, the “wine” project is definitely a bummer of a name for those us more interested in the liquid version of “wine”. Although the sites crawled by Scrugy are closely controlled, it’s tough to guard against legit sites that get hit by spam (like blogs with unmoderated comments) or domain names that expire and become link farms. I’m constantly filtering sites and pages from the search index. There’s a lot of junk out there!
Users can help out too, though, by using the “Report Link” link that is displayed below every web search hit on Scrugy. By reporting links to us, we can add sites or links to our filtering rules and get them cleaned out of the search index.
I’ll review the “linux” hits and see if there’s a pattern there that I can use to clean up the bogus hits some more.
Thanks for the comment, Jason!
