A neural network-based intelligent metasearch engine
Information Sciences, 1999Abstract Determining the relevancy of web pages to a query term is basic to the working of any search engine. In this paper we present a neural network based algorithm to classify the relevancy of search results on a metasearch engine. The fast learning neural network technology used by us enables the metasearch engine to handle a query term in a ...

Experiences with selecting search engines using metasearch
ACM Transactions on Information Systems, 1997Search engines are among the most useful and high-profile resources on the Internet. The problem of finding information on the Internet has been replaced with the problem of knowing where search engines are, what they are designed to retrieve, and how to use them.

MetaFusion: An efficient metasearch engine using genetic algorithm
2016 Ninth International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3), 2016World Wide Web is a dynamic source of information which is expanding its content at a staggering rate. Individual search engines are not able to handle the exponential nature of web. Hence meta-search engines are used to solve the problem of low web space information coverage rate of individual search engines.

Online Information Review, 2007
Purpose – Metasearch engines (MSEs) which have been designed to solve problems of internet users in finding relevant resources are not seemingly as recognized as the other web search tools such as search engines (SEs) and directories. As a result, this paper aims to compare and evaluate some of them in terms of search features included in their ...

Assessing metasearch engine performance
Online Information Review, 2009PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a new method for evaluating the performance of metasearch engines (MSEs), which was used in the reported study to investigate which of eight popular MSEs (Clusty, Dogpile, Excite, Mamma, MetaCrawler, Search.com, WebCrawler and Webfetch) is the best.Design/methodology/approachThis research evaluated the ...

A personalized result merging method for metasearch engine
Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Software and Computer Applications, 2017Metasearch engine integrates the search results from multiple sources, and improves recall in the big data environment. Result merging is a key component which will greatly affect the effectiveness of a metasearch engine. Great progress has been made in this area, however few studies have focused on providing personalized results for different users ...

Web searcher interaction with the Dogpile.com metasearch engine
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2007AbstractMetasearch engines are an intuitive method for improving the performance of Web search by increasing coverage, returning large numbers of results with a focus on relevance, and presenting alternative views of information needs. However, the use of metasearch engines in an operational environment is not well understood.

The NLM Gateway: a Metasearch Engine for Disparate Resources
2004The U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) has created a metasearch engine called the NLM Gateway at the URL “gateway.nlm.nih.gov”. The Gateway allows the user to issue one search that takes place on multiple NLM retrieval engines.

Towards automatic incorporation of search engines into a large-scale metasearch engine
Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003), 2004A metasearch engine supports unified access to multiple component search engines. To build a very large-scale metasearch engine that can access up to hundreds of thousands of component search engines, one major challenge is to incorporate large numbers of autonomous search engines in a highly effective manner.

Rational constraints for fusion methods in metasearch engine systems
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2004Summary: Fusion is one of the main technical problems of running a MetaSearch Engine (MSE). We classify the potential cases of fusion in MSE systems and the types of MSEs. Based on these classifications, the rational constraints of fusion methods in different fusion cases are described.
