Abstract:
With the enormous growth of the World Wide
Web, Search engines or Information Retrieval (IR)
play a critical role in retrieving information from the
borderless Web. Although many search engines are
available for the major languages, but they are not
much proficient for the less computerized languages
including Myanmar. A search engine which capable of
searching the Web documents written in any other
languages rather than in English is highly needed,
especially when more and more Web sites are coming
up with localized content in multiple languages. This
paper reports an ongoing project of developing a
Search Engine with the focus on Myanmar texts. In this
case, one of the most important components of search
engine is indexing of the Web documents.
In this study, the design and the architecture
of a dictionary based indexer for Myanmar Web pages
is proposed and which are expected to be used in
search engines for Myanmar language.
