  • A Study on Vertical and Broad-Based Search Engines
    International Journal of Latest Trends in Engineering and Technology IJLTET Special Issue- ICRACSC-2016 , pp.087-093 e-ISSN: 2278-621X A STUDY ON VERTICAL AND BROAD-BASED SEARCH ENGINES M.Swathi1 and M.Swetha2 Abstract-Vertical search engines or Domain-specific search engines[1][2] are becoming increasingly popular because they offer increased accuracy and extra features not possible with general, Broad-based search engines or Web-wide search engines. The paper focuses on the survey of domain specific search engine which is becoming more popular as compared to Web- Wide Search Engines as they are difficult to maintain and time consuming .It is also difficult to provide appropriate documents to represent the target data. We also listed various vertical search engines and Broad-based search engines. Index terms: Domain specific search, vertical search engines, broad based search engines. I. INTRODUCTION The Web has become a very rich source of information for almost any field, ranging from music to histories, from sports to movies, from science to culture, and many more. However, it has become increasingly difficult to search for desired information on the Web. Users are facing the problem of information overload , in which a search on a general-purpose search engine such as Google (www.google.com) results in thousands of hits.Because a user cannot specify a search domain (e.g. medicine, music), a search query may bring up Web pages both within and outside the desired domain. Example 1: A user searching for “cancer” may get Web pages related to the disease as well as those related to the Zodiac sign.

  • The Autonomous Surfer
    Renée Ridgway The Autonomous Surfer CAIS Report Fellowship Mai bis Oktober 2018 GEFÖRDERT DURCH RIDGWAY The Autonomous Surfer Research Questions The Autonomous Surfer endeavoured to discover the unknown unknowns of alternative search through the following research questions: What are the alternatives to Google search? What are their hidden revenue models, even if they do not collect user data? How do they deliver divergent (and qualitative) results or knowledge? What are the criteria that determine ranking and relevance? How do p2p search engines such as YaCy work? Does it deliver alternative results compared to other search engines? Is there still a movement for a larger, public index? Can there be serendipitous search, which is the ability to come across books, articles, images, information, objects, and so forth, by chance? Aims and Projected Results My PhD research investigates Google search – its early development, its technological innovation, its business model of the past 20 years and how it works now. Furthermore, I have experimented with Tor (The Onion Router) in order to find out if I could be anonymous online, and if so, would I receive diver- gent results from Google with the same keywords. For my fellowship at CAIS I decided to first research search engines that were incorporated into the Tor browser as default (Startpage, Disconnect) or are the default browser now (DuckDuckGo). I then researched search engines in my original CAIS proposal that I had come across in my PhD but hadn’t had the time to research; some are from the Society of the Query Reader (2014) and others I found en route or on colleagues’ suggestions.

  • Evaluation of Web-Based Search Engines Using User-Effort Measures
    Evaluation of Web-Based Search Engines Using User-Effort Measures Muh-Chyun Tang and Ying Sun 4 Huntington St. School of Information, Communication and Library Studies Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a study of the applicability of three user-effort-sensitive evaluation measures —“first 20 full precision,” “search length,” and “rank correlation”—on four Web-based search engines (Google, AltaVista, Excite and Metacrawler). The authors argue that these measures are better alternatives than precision and recall in Web search situations because of their emphasis on the quality of ranking. Eight sets of search topics were collected from four Ph.D. students in four different disciplines (biochemistry, industrial engineering, economics, and urban planning). Each participant was asked to provide two topics along with the corresponding query terms. Their relevance and credibility judgment of the Web pages were then used to compare the performance of the search engines using these three measures. The results show consistency among these three ranking evaluation measures, more so between “first 20 full precision” and search length than between rank correlation and the other two measures. Possible reasons for rank correlation’s disagreement with the other two measures are discussed. Possible future research to improve these measures is also addressed. Introduction The explosive growth of information on the World Wide Web poses a challenge to traditional information retrieval (IR) research. Other than the sheer amount of information, some structural factors make searching for relevant and quality information on the Web a formidable task.

Sometimes is ill and slowly to obtain necessary information from so over- much number searched and offered web-pages. By searching in the INTERNET assists the advanced searching, but sometimes it does not conduce to searched information. For assistance by the solving of these problems and for speeding-up of the work serve specialised servers, which give grouped information from certain scientific area and first and foremost links for next relative relevant web-links and web-pages, which are in the area of chemistry, for example, Yahoo- Chemistry-Server [3], list of Mendeleev periodic tables of elements [4], from which each provides certain supplementary information about properties of individual elements, isotopes, occasionally radionuclides.

(1) Most current search technology is based on a popularity metric (e.g., PageRank or ExpertRank), but not on the semantic content of the searched document. (2) When building components in a service- oriented architecture (SOA), developers must investigate whether components that meet certain requirements already exist. (3) There is no easy way for writers of requirements documents to formally specify the meaning and domain of their requirements. Our goal in the research presented here is to address these concerns by designing a search engine that searches over the “meanings" of requirements documents.
