This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
Abstract. With the emergence of multi-core CPU (or Chip-level MultiProcessor -CMP-), it is essential to develop techniques that capitalize on CMP's advantages to speed up very...
The dominant method for evaluating search engines is the Cranfield paradigm, but the existing metrics do not consider some modern search engines features, such as document snippets...
The output of major WWW search engines was analyzed and the results led to some surprising observations about their stability. Twentyfive queries were issued repeatedly to the eng...
Results caching is an efficient technique for reducing the query processing load, hence it is commonly used in real search engines. This technique, however, bounds the maximum hit...
