Ok, I have looked up each search engine that I'm aware of within Geminispace:
Gemplex uses PageRank
— https://git.sr.ht/~elektito/gemplex
Kennedy describes its algorithm as a "PageRank-derived algorithm"
— kennedy.gemi.dev/docs/features.gmi
TLGS switched from HITS to SALSA on 2022-02-02.
And I'm not sure what ranking geminispace.info uses, but I don't think it does link analysis, afaik. One would have to look more in its source. AuraGem Search doesn't do link ranking (like PageRank or SALSA/HITS), but does try to rank based on content relevancy (using FTS and prioritizing title matches over url matches or audio artist metdata matches... that type of thing)

@clseibold, thank you for your detailed explanation.
PageRank — Is there any search engine in the Gemini space that implements the Page Rank algorithm as in Brin, Page, "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" (1998), or something similar? The Gemini space appears not to contain manipulated content ("SEO"), so PR could work pretty well.
