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.

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 ...

KhojYantra: an integrated MetaSearch engine with classification, clustering and ranking
Proceedings 2000 International Database Engineering and Applications Symposium (Cat. No.PR00789), 2002Conventional 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.

Design and implementation of an intelligent metasearch engine based on agent
International Journal of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, 2007It is difficult for users to search for information on the internet because of the rapid expanding of information resource. Traditional search engines cannot deal with that very well. Based on this situation, the paper presented agent and metasearch engine technology.

Performance Measurement and Metrics
PurposeThis paper evaluates the precision of four metasearch engines (MSEs) – DuckDuckGo, Dogpile, Metacrawler and Startpage, to determine which metasearch engine exhibits the highest level of precision and to identify the metasearch engine that is most ...

Rank aggregation algorithm using particle swarm optimization for metasearch engines
The 10th IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology, 2010Rank aggregation is the algorithm that generates a consensus ranking from a given set of rankings from different sources. Rank aggregation algorithm has been found in many applications in web including metasearch and spam fighting. The proposed rank aggregation algorithm is called footrule optimal aggregation (FOA) because it is based upon optimizing ...

Proceedings of the 26th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in informaion retrieval - SIGIR '03, 2003
Extended Abstract As a system that provides unified access to multiple existing search systems, a metasearch engine can alleviate ordinary users from the formidable task of identifying useful sources and searching them individually. At present, the largest metasearch engines such as ProFusion (www.profusion.com) and SavvySearch (www.search.com) can ...

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 ...
