This is nicely done, but so far isn't returning anything interesting for me. All the results are very basic (Django docs, PHP docs, etc), which makes sense, the most often cited will be the most general.

What about a change in algorithm to try and add some discovery here. What if you look at votes for answers vs cites? So things that have a high average vote:cite ratio rank?

Thanks. Yea i agree our initial use case was to provide an interface to the dataset and to allow us to explore what kinds of things developers were sharing on SO. For the next version we are working on new ranking metrics that will improve the discover aspect, vote:cite and view:cite are 2 we are looking at.
