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...

The paper introduced an art search engine platform that differs from ordinary search engines, which provide users only directly related information about the users’ queries. The art search engine platform introduced in this paper provides users both the directly related introductory information of their queries and the necessary educational background information of the artworks and the artists...

For years and years the search engine researchers focus their efforts on having more accurate and faster search engines. This was more than enough in the past but with the appearance of smart phones the idea of having everything smart became dominant. In this paper we tried to share the dream of having a domain independent search engine and not only an ordinary one but a smart search by voice e...

Web search engines have become the dominant tools for finding information on the Internet. Due to their popularity, users apply them to a wide range of search needs, from simple look-ups to rather complex information tasks. This paper presents the results of a study that investigated the characteristics of these complex information needs in the context of Web search engines. The aim of the stud...

In this paper, we use context information extracted from the documents in the collection to improve the performance of the search engine. In first step, we extract context using Lucene, DBPedia-Spotlight, and Wordnet. As the second step, we build a graph using extracted context information. In the third step, in order to group similar contexts, we cluster context graph. In the fourth step, we r...

Online Evaluation of Clustered Search Engine Results Design, Implementation and Results

Nowadays, XML is the document model in favour for both documentand data-centric web applications. Its influence in other, more traditional projects and applications grows as the web and associated techniques become the de-facto standard in user interfaces in such systems. We present an XML-sensitive search engine (Xircus) suited for processing semi-structured queries over large collections of X...

This article describes the rationale behind the PHASAR system (Phrase-based Accurate Search And Retrieval), a professional Information Retrieval and Text Mining system under development for the collection of information about metabolites from the biological literature. The system is generic in nature and applicable (given suitable linguistic resources and thesauri) to many other forms of profes...
