Notes
  1. classification and range from Flynn, 1998; species from Heinrich et al., 2008
gollark: Probably won't implement the actual thing, but it has interesting ideas.
gollark: I found a description of Google's (presumably no longer used, but eh) PageRank algorithm, which may be useful to me.
gollark: Also, opinions on how to do search still wanted?
gollark: I could add a "visit random indexed page" button to my search engine.
gollark: Also, I feel that this table:```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, statusCode INTEGER NOT NULL, rawContent TEXT NOT NULL, title TEXT, description TEXT, body TEXT, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, headers TEXT, -- JSON object containing all the response headers referrer TEXT);```may have too many things in it.
