Quotation search is the search for the source of a certain text fragment, i.e. either the original text (in which case a larger portion of it should appear on the site), or at least the author and the title of this text.

This analyzer examines 100 queries that consist of significantly long extracts from texts, published on the Web. For each search engine we calculate the percentage of the search results containing at least one of the following: a. the larger fragment of the original text or b. the name of the author and the title of the text.

The positions of the pages in the search results are not taken into consideration. Neither are (unlike the original texts analyzer, where the priority of the copyright holder is important) the sites where the text in question was first published.
