[BUG]strange search results with Altavista

Post by coulonnus »

When I use the Advance Web search of http://www.altavista.com and make a query with the Exact Phrase <my real name>, limited to location = By URL: imslp.org I obtain two strange results, besides one normal result where my real name is explicitely typed in because I have typeset a score.

Both strange results contain strange line like these:

<rdf:RDF>
?
<cc:Work rdf:about="http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Billema,_Raffaele">
<dc:title>Billema, Raffaele</dc:title>
<dc:publisher rdf:resource="http://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:About"/>

My real name is not very difficult to guess - put coulon pierre jean in the reverse order -
but this bug might defeat the purpose of pseudos for contributors who whish to remain anonymous. Google does not give these strange results.

First, please use a descriptive title for the thread, otherwise navigating the forum becomes very hard. As for the issue at hand, I suppose it is related to RDF metadata, but I think only Feldmahler can give a definitive answer about that.
