Integrating WWW Caches and Search Engines

چکیده
In this paper we propose the concept of cache plugins, which are customized programs that run WWW cache servers and perform some of the search engine tasks. We describe a prototype implementation of cache plugin to answer client requests directed to a large search engine, using a nearby cache server to store static objects. Experimental results using actual logs show a signiicant improvement on the quality of service of the search engine, doubling its predictability, improving its availability by a factor of 24, and reducing both its response time by 8% and the network traac by a factor of 20.

متن کاملOn the Instability of Web Search Engines
The output of major WWW search engines was analyzed and the results led to some surprising observations about their stability.
