One of the highlights of Meta Linden's office hours today was the confirmation from Zee and Meta that -- as we suspected -- parcel traffic figures would likely remain. Traffic would no longer be considered as a factor in ranking search results, but the figure will remain in some form to parcel owners.Meta went on to poll attendees about whether the traffic figure per parcel should be visible only to the owner/group or to anyone who checked. The answer for those present was overwhelmingly in favor of retaining it as visible to all who wanted to check it.
The redesign and rewrite of the search system apparently is ongoing and expected to take several more weeks before it is rolled out.
