Most Famous Name Algorithm

Open kolatubosun opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

For some reason, I don't trust the algorithm behind the "Popular Names" feature on the home page, because the five names that have been there since we launched have remained there since. It's highly unlikely that they are the only names being searched for everyday. I think it should be re-examined.

Addendum: I've taken a look at a screenshot of the homepage I took just a few weeks ago. The five names remain there, but the order has changed. This tells me that it's possible the algorithm is alright and these names are actually the most popular ones. So I'll suggest that in addition with checking the source code, let us also give it a few more weeks to see if anything changes.

Take not to check issue #40 while fixing this bug.

Still worried that the bus still isn't fixed. Since the last reset, the first name that rose to the top "Dossoumon" has remained there since. It's unlikely that this is the most searched name since then, since "Adeola" remained there also until the rest. It's more likely that whatever name first gets to the top of the list just stays there no matter the amount of time other names are searched for. If "Dossoumon" was so popular, why wasn't it on the top five list until the last reset? You get my point?
