It ranked first in the EQueR evaluation campaign (Evalda, Technolangue [3]) and in CLEF 2005 for monolingual task (FrenchFrench) and multilingual task (EnglishFrench and PortugueseFrench). This article describes the improvements of the system since last year. Then, it presents our benchmarked results for the CLEF 2006 campaign and a critical description of the system.
