چکیده
Search engines are among the most popular and useful services on the web. Ingwersen and Järvelin (2005) recommend evaluating an IR system based on how much it helps the user achieve their task effectively and efficiently. Therefore, to evaluate a search engine holistically, the users’ rating of the results should be taken into account. Many previous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of web search engines (i.e., Su 1998; Spink, 2002, Su, 2003; Bar-Ilan & Gutman, 2003; Griesbaum, 2004). However to the best of our knowledge there is no previous evaluation of an Arabic speakers’ satisfaction with Google.
