Privacy Proliferation of Customized Web Search Engine

Structural Web Search Engine

We present a new approach in web search engines. The web creates new challenges for information retrieval. The vast improvement in information access is not the only advantage resulting from the keyword search. Additionally, much potential exists for analyzing interests and relationships within the structure of the web. The creation of a hyperlink by the author of a web page explicitly represen...

Semantic Web Search Engine

In this report, we discuss the architecture and implementation of the Semantic Web Search Engine (SWSE). Following traditional search engine architecture, SWSE consists of crawling, data enhancing, indexing and a user interface for search, browsing and retrieval of information; unlike traditional search engines, SWSE operates over RDF Web data (loosely also known as Linked Data) which implies u...

Blind Web Search: How far are we from a privacy preserving search engine?

Recent rapid progress in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and somewhat homomorphic encryption (SHE) has catalyzed renewed efforts to develop efficient privacy preserving protocols. Several works have already appeared in the literature that provide solutions to these problems by employing FHE or SHE techniques. In this work, we focus on a natural application where privacy is a major concern: w...

A Similarity Web Search Engine

Traditional search engines (i.e., Google web search engine) use keywords and perform exact matching to find the target web pages and assign each page with some priority using some algorithms (i.e., PageRank) to capture the popularity. However, there are two problems with this kind of searching. First, it treats the input as individual words instead of a whole document. Second, it performs exact...
