Abstract
A system for evaluating web pages for searchable content can be utilized to make an e-commerce search engine more effective by identifying pages with searchable value. In embodiments, a web page exhibiting 'searchable value' is a page that provides useful information responsive to a user's query on an e-commerce search engine. One embodiment of a page evaluation system includes a web crawler module, a page analysis module, and a page index module. Web pages may be fetched and evaluated for various signals that indicate whether the web page exhibits searchable value. Examples of signals that may indicate that a web page lacks searchable value include a product page that does not have a product name nor a product image and a category page that does not have products listed in the page content. Web pages that lack searchable value may be excluded from subsequent e-commerce search results.
