Websites are ranked according to Abrexa's unique algorithm. This takes into account both the relevancy of a site to your search and the quality of the sites. Thus better sites will tend to appear at the top of search results.

The quality of sites is judged by their AbrexaRating, which is a measure of different factors.

Where a search option is selected, the search results will also take into account the type of information being looked for, which can significantly improve the relevancy of results.
