Tweaking the search engine

I just did some major tweaking of the search settings for Nipponster. Hopefully this will make searches more accurate and remove some of the junk results that sometimes pop-up.

Nipponster is supposed to filter results so that only Japan-related results come through. I know that this is going to require constant tweaking, especially since we want to go from "ok, it's Japan-related" to "Wow! these results are Japan-related and better than any other results on the web!"


We want the "wow factor." How would you rate Nipponster search right now? Is it a wow? How can we improve?
