Comment 1 for bug 1049376

The API provides both the number of upvotes and number of downvotes a question has (not answers, though, as far as I know). Questions marked as closed are already filtered out, so it is certainly possible to filter out questions with a minimum score as well. The results could then be arranged by number of votes.

Also, are there any tags that should be excluded from searches? Are questions tagged as lubuntu or xubuntu, for example, going to be useful to someone who is clearly using ubuntu (and unity), or do we run the risk of excluding too many useful answers by removing them?
