 Clustering 

Definition

Limitation of the number of pages resulting from the same site in the pages from results from an search engine.

Description

The clustering is a principle used by certain search engines consisting in limiting the number of results resulting from the same site, to prevent that the same site occupies the first pages of results.
Google limits to two results per site, the second being in withdrawal. One finds then a bond allowing to find more pages of the site in question.

To be more precise, it should be said that Google limits to 2 results per under-field and not per site, which proves very different according to the cases. Indeed Google never posts more than 2 sites persos lodged at Wanadoo since the URL of the sites are of the http://perso.wanadoo.fr/login/ type. Conversely, there is no limit for the pages lodged at Free, which are of the http://login.free.fr type
