Implementation of Web Indexing-Based Search Engine for Research Publications

Abstract

In the world of today internet and computer technology have immeasurably increased the availability of information. However, as the size of information systems increases, it becomes harder for users to retrieve relevant information. Published research papers on World Wide Web are poorly organized. So, significant amounts of time and effort are needed to find interesting and relevant research publications on the Web. Search engines provide users with an efficient means of searching for valuable information. A web search engine is an internet tool to search for sites and web pages containing the word that is related to specific terms. This system is intended to implement a single machine web search engine by applying web crawler, indexer and query processor. This search engine is to extract best matching web pages and related links from Web and to find relevant PDF papers from its own database according to a given user query.
