Search Techniques: Web Based Search MODULE - 5B INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Search Techniques: Web Based Search MODULE - 5B INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM 18 Notes SEARCH TECHNIQUES: WEB BASED SEARCH 18.1 INTRODUCTION Internet has become the biggest repository of information in the world. It can be considered as a global library where variety of information in different languages and formats is stored in digital form. The volume of information on web is enormous and it has become near to impossible to estimate its size. Because of its size and storing mechanism, finding relevant and precise information has become a difficult task. For searching information from this vast repository, we use search engines. There are thousands of search engines available on internet. For example, if you visit http://www.thesearchen ginelist.com/, you will find a classified list of search engines. This list is category-wise and includes all-purpose search engines in various fields like accounting, blogs, books, legal, medical, etc. In Lesson 17, you studied basic concepts of search techniques. Here, you will learn various aspects of searching information on web. 18.2 OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to: explain purpose of simple and advanced search techniques; develop search string using Boolean logic on a given topic; illustrate search string with the help of a diagram; give examples of simple search and advanced search on internet; identify various Search Engines, viz. Google, Yahoo, Google Scholar; LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE 367 MODULE - 5B Search Techniques: Web Based Search INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM identify Search Engines on internet in different vernacular languages; illustrate search in specific categories, viz. maps, images; and modify search strings to get precise results. -

Document Selection in a Distributed Search Engine Architecture Ibrahim
Document Selection in a Distributed Search Engine Architecture 1Ibrahim AlShourbaji, 2Samaher Al-Janabi and 3Ahmed Patel 1Computer Network Department, Computer Science and Information System College, Jazan University, Jazan 82822-6649, Saudi Arabia 2Department of Information Networks, Faculty of Information Technology,University of Babylon, Babylon, Hilla 00964, Iraq 3Visiting Professor School of Computing and Information Systems, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing, Kingston University, Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE, United Kingdom Abstract Distributed Search Engine Architecture (DSEA) hosts numerous independent topic-specific search engines and selects a subset of the databases to search within the architecture. The objective of this approach is to reduce the amount of space needed to perform a search by querying only a subset of the total data available. In order to manipulate data across many databases, it is most efficient to identify a smaller subset of databases that would be most likely to return the data of specific interest that can then be examined in greater detail. The selection index has been most commonly used as a method for choosing the most applicable databases as it captures broad information about each database and its indexed documents. Employing this type of database allows the researcher to find information more quickly, not only with less cost, but it also minimizes the potential for biases. This paper investigates the effectiveness of different databases selected within the framework and scope of the distributed search engine architecture. The purpose of the study is to improve the quality of distributed information retrieval.

The Kermit File Transfer Protocol
THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Frank da Cruz February 1985 This is the original manuscript of the Digital Press book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, ISBN 0-932976-88-6, Copyright 1987, written in 1985 and in print from 1986 until 2001. This PDF file was produced by running the original Scribe markup-language source files through the Scribe publishing package, which still existed on an old Sun Solaris computer that was about to be shut off at the end of February 2016, and then converting the resulting PostScript version to PDF. Neither PostScript nor PDF existed in 1985, so this result is a near miracle, especially since the last time this book was "scribed" was on a DECSYSTEM-20 for a Xerox 9700 laser printer (one of the first). Some of the tables are messed up, some of the source code comes out in the wrong font; there's not much I can do about that. Also (unavoidably) the page numbering is different from the printed book and of couse the artwork is missing. Bear in mind Kermit protocol and software have seen over 30 years of progress and development since this book was written. All information herein regarding the Kermit Project, how to get Kermit software, or its license or status, etc, is no longer valid. The Kermit Project at Columbia University survived until 2011 but now it's gone and all Kermit software was converted to Open Source at that time. For current information, please visit the New Open Source Kermit Project website at http://www.kermitproject.org (as long as it lasts). -

GUSTAFSON, PROFESSOR AND CHARLES CONNOR, RESEARCH ASSOCIATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHENS, GEORGIA 30602 ABSTRACT Electronic communication is one example of how technology is impacting and changing lifestyles. The result of this technology is one of benefiting the individual, especially since the cost of this technology is within the reach of most families. ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARDS FOR BUSINESS, EDUCATION AND LEISURE INTRODUCTION Using computers to communicate with other people and to forward and store messages has been possible for many years. But until recently, this capability was available to only a limited number of people due to expense and technical difficulty. However, with the advent and rapid acquisition of personal computers, the ability to communicate electronically has become readily available in offices and homes. Personal computers have made the costs of electronic communication inexpensive due to the low costs of both the host computer and personal computers used to communicate with it� Microcomputers costing less than $1,000 can serve as the host computer and home computers with required communication equipment and programs can be purchased for under $500. -
List of Search Engines
A blog network is a group of blogs that are connected to each other in a network. A blog network can either be a group of loosely connected blogs, or a group of blogs that are owned by the same company. The purpose of such a network is usually to promote the other blogs in the same network and therefore increase the advertising revenue generated from online advertising on the blogs.[1] List of search engines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For knowing popular web search engines see, see Most popular Internet search engines. This is a list of search engines, including web search engines, selection-based search engines, metasearch engines, desktop search tools, and web portals and vertical market websites that have a search facility for online databases.
