A familiarity level classifier comprises a stopwords engine for conducting a stopwords analysis of stopwords, e.g., introductory level stopwords and advanced level stopwords, in a document, e.g., a website; and a familiarity level classifier module for generating a document familiarity level based on the stopwords analysis. The classifier may be in an indexing module, a search engine, a user computer, or elsewhere in a computer network. The classifier may also include a reading level engine for conducting a reading level analysis of the document, and wherein the familiarity level classifier module is configured to generate the familiarity level also based on the reading level analysis. The classifier may also include a document features engine for conducting a feature analysis of the document, and wherein the familiarity level classifier module is configured to generate the document familiarity level also based on the feature analysis.
