Odd bug - SER not counting text files of URLs properly when identifying and sorting in

Strange bug @sven, and I don't know if it's actually causing any problems or not but it's odd nonetheless.

Here's how I discovered this error. I took a list of URLs in Gscraper and deduped them by URL which came out to like 5.1k URLs. I exported this list.

I created a new and empty identified folder for SER. I took that list of 5.1k URLs and used the identify and sort in feature of SER into this empty folder. When the operation was complete, I had something like 4,800 identified and sorted URLs and 1,700 unknown URLs. How did SER end up parsing 6,500 URLs from a list of 5,100 URLs?

To confirm that I'm not crazy, I had someone else replicate this test at a smaller scale and ended up with an inflated number just like I did.

Where is SER pulling these extra URLs from lol? More importantly, could this be causing any other issues?

  • I also tested this to make sure it wasn't just him. I put in roughly 45 and put them in identify, came out with 65 somehow. No idea why this happened.

    Thats normal. As in new versions SER can add one URL into more than one category. Many Wordpress based sites e.g. match a "Blog Comment" and a "Wordpress - Article" engine. SER does no longer adds the URL to the best matching engine but to all that would match.
