While I totally agree to Pharao that the code shoud be open soource especially to port it to other platforms (ie linux servers) I see the problem that evil people will find ways to inject spam, censor or fool the ranking programmatically….

Maybe this could be made bulletproof – if not consider a closed source linux port and an independent security team to review its result…

Respect for this great project!

You should release the whole Faroo code – make it open source. That would be great!

98: m => m.Value
VB: Function(m) m.Value

278: x => x.term == suggestion.term
VB: Function(x) x.term = suggestion.term

314: c => c.distance
VB: Function(c) c.distance

Those are all Lambda expressions:

while converting this code to VB.NET I am facing the following problems
Line no. 98: What is m? and what is the meaning of =>? (in VB => gets converted to >=)
Line no. 278: What is m?
Line no. 314: What is c?

An early response will be highly appretiated.

Regards
