Concept Similarity and Cosine Similarity Result Merging Approaches in Metasearch Engine

open access: closed, 2012
Metasearch engines provide a uniform query interface for Internet users to search for information. Depending on users need, they select relevant sources and map user queries into the target search engines, subsequently merging the results. In this paper, we have proposed a metasearch engine, which have two unique steps (1) searching through surface and

Classification and fusion results in metasearch engines

2012 Next Generation Networks and Services (NGNS), 2012
Searching for information on the Internet is not only an essential way to get information, but also a strategic tool to obtain a wide variety of information. Unfortunately, Web is so huge and so unstructured that the collection of specific, fair and useful information becomes a daunting ant time-wasting task.

A personalized result merging method for metasearch engine

Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Software and Computer Applications, 2017
Metasearch 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 ...

Advanced metasearch engines

Proceedings of the 18th ACM conference on Information and knowledge management, 2009
A metasearch engine is a system, which is connected to different search engines. In response to a user query, it invokes suitable search engines for the query, merges the information returned by these search engines and output the merged result. There are two types of metasearch engines: one type for unstructured data (mostly text) and the other for ...

A neural network-based intelligent metasearch engine

Information Sciences, 1999
Abstract 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, 1997
Search 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.

Assessing metasearch engine performance

Online Information Review, 2009
PurposeThe 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 ...

KhojYantra: an integrated MetaSearch engine with classification, clustering and ranking

Proceedings 2000 International Database Engineering and Applications Symposium (Cat. No.PR00789), 2002
Conventional search engines generally return a long ordered list of results which the users are forced to sift for getting relevant documents. It is envisaged that the search results can be greatly improved by integrating techniques, like ranking, classification and clustering.
