Well, newsgroups contents are visible, copied several times, on
various search engines...
YouTube has a normalized weight of only 5.73%.

That could be the explanation...

Anyway, the idea of a "transparent" index, with the same rules, but
with publication of all figures, could be a nice project.
Of course automatized...
How complicated would it be to parse the HTML page returned by search
engines ?
For instance, the Google request gives somewhere in the HTML code:
*<p id=resultStats>*&nbsp;Results <b>1</b> - <b>10</b> of about
<b>1,440,000</b> for <b>ada programming</b>
Matching the above tag, the result is at reach of the hand.
Maybe some HTTP request to do with AWS ?
Any hint is welcome, I'm doing the rest of the code :-)
