Table 4.2.3 Results of Game theory method and search engines for more complex query<br />

Game theory Ask.com Live Interia Yahoo! Google<br />

Set Coverage 60% 40% 30% 40% 30%<br />

URL to URL 40% 0% 10% 0% 10%<br />

Table 4.2.4 Coverage of Game theory method and search engines for more complex query<br />

Table above presents how the result set returned by the Game theory algorithm covers each<br />

of the result sets of the search engines. It can be observed that in this case set-coverage varies <strong>from</strong><br />

the 30% (Interia, Google) to 60 % (Ask.com). URL to URL coverage is low like in the previous<br />

cases, only Ask.com engine has its URLs covered by 40%. Other non-zero values are assigned to<br />

Google and Interia search engines. Also, like for the previously disputed query, average setcoverage<br />

is higher than in case of the Auction method.<br />

Game theory method returns an URL which is found in 2 out of 5 search engines, as the first<br />

returned result. Like in the previous tested query, the absence URLs at high places which are on<br />

high places in result sets in search engines could be explained by the nature of this algorithm. Those<br />

answers were discarded at the beginning due to the keep payoff not high enough in the first rounds.<br />

Then after the topmost URLs were already selected, situation has changed – the keep payoffs were<br />

high enough - and the overall highly ranked URLs were added to the final answer, however on<br />

lower places.<br />

Like for the previous query, in this case result of the Game theory algorithm backs the thesis<br />

which was stated earlier – if there is an URL which is highly ranked in all input result sets it will be<br />

contained in the result set returned by this method; however not necessarily on some high position.<br />
