  • Publication number: 20190384838
    Abstract: Content in a digital item is analyzed to identify individual terms. A count of at least some of the individual terms is obtained. A measure of the likelihood that the content is or contains natural language is obtained based on the count of at least some of the individual terms. If the measure of the likelihood that the content of the digital item is or contains natural language is above a threshold, the content of the digital item is forwarded to an indexer of a search engine. Otherwise, if the measure of the likelihood that the content of the digital item is or contains natural language is below the a threshold, the content of the digital item is not forwarded to the indexer or the content of the digital item is forwarded to the indexer together with the measure of the likelihood.
