Chapter 10 World Wide Web Search Engines

This chapter provides an overview of the existing technologies for Web search engines and classifies them into six categories: i) hyperlink exploration, ii) information retrieval, iii) metasearches, iv) SQL approaches, v) content-based multimedia searches, and vi) others.

Uksearch -web Search with Knowledge-rich Indices Related Work

This paper addresses the problem of search over a restricted domain by indexing the source data in a more elaborate way than in standard search engine technology, to extract concepts that are used to create a structure for the documents that is similar to that found in classiied directories.

Automatic Web Page Categorization by Link and Context Analysis

The paper describes the novel technique of categorization by context, which instead extracts useful information for classifying a document from the context where a URL referring to it appears, and presents the results of experimenting with Theseus, a classifier that exploits this technique.
