An IFilter acts as a plug-in for extracting full-text and metadata for search engines. A search engine usually works in two steps: [2] [3] The search engine goes through a designated place, e.g. a file folder or a database, and indexes all documents or newly modified documents, including the various types documents, in the background and creates internal data to store indexing result.

When seeking online information, many people turn to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, or AOL Search. These search engines function as digital indexes, organizing available content by topic and sub-topic, much like an index in a book. Each search engine builds its index using distinct methods, typically beginning with an automated ...
Generating or maintaining a large-scale search engine index represents a significant storage and processing challenge. Many search engines utilize a form of compression to reduce the size of the indices on disk. [19] Consider the following scenario for a full text, Internet search engine. It takes 8 bits (or 1 byte) to store a single character.
Robin Li developed the RankDex site-scoring algorithm for search engines results page ranking [23] [24] [25] and received a US patent for the technology. [26] It was the first search engine that used hyperlinks to measure the quality of websites it was indexing, [27] predating the very similar algorithm patent filed by Google two years later in ...
Ranking of query is one of the fundamental problems in information retrieval (IR), [1] the scientific/engineering discipline behind search engines. [2] Given a query q and a collection D of documents that match the query, the problem is to rank, that is, sort, the documents in D according to some criterion so that the "best" results appear early in the result list displayed to the user.
Evaluation measures for an information retrieval (IR) system assess how well an index, search engine, or database returns results from a collection of resources that satisfy a user's query. They are therefore fundamental to the success of information systems and digital platforms.
