I'll admit I had not been working on the quality of single term queries as much as I should have lately. However, especially for such simple queries, having a database of link text (inbound hyperlinks and the associated hypertest) is very, very important. And you don't get the necessary corpus of link text if you have a small index. So in this particular case the index size is, indeed, quite likely a factor.
And thank you for the elaborate breakdown. It is quite useful and very informative, and was nice of you to present.
And I'm not saying that index size is the only obstacle here. I just feel it's the biggest single issue holding Gigablast's quality back. Certainly, there are other quality issues in the algorithm and you might have touched on some there.
