Link-based search engines generate the rank using linked information of related web-documents . HITS(Hypertext Internet Topic Search), representative ranking evaluation algorithm using a special feature of web-documents based on such link, evaluates the importance degree of related pages from linked information and presents by ranking information. Problem of such HITS algorithm only is considered the link frequency within documents and depends on the set of web documents as input value. In this paper, we design the search agent based on better HITS algorithm according to advanced suitability between query and search-result in the set of given documents from link-based web search engine. It then complements locality of advanced search performance and result.

A tourist destination ranking system was designed that employs a semantic search to extract information with reasonable accuracy. To this end the process involves collecting data, preprocessing text reviews of tourist spots, and embedding the corpus and queries with SBERT. We calculate the similarity between data points, filter out those below a specified threshold, and then rank the remaining tourist destinations using a count-based algorithm to align them semantically with the query. To assess the efficacy of the ranking algorithm experiments were conducted with four queries. Furthermore, 58,175 sentences were directly labeled to ascertain their semantic relevance to the third query, 'crowdedness'. Notably, human-labeled data for crowdedness showed similar results. Despite challenges including optimizing thresholds and imbalanced data, this study shows that a semantic search is a powerful method for understanding user intent and recommending tourist destinations with less time and costs.

Recently, as the requirements for using big data have increased, interest in dataset search technology needed for data analysis is also growing. Although it is necessary to proactively utilize metadata, unlike conventional text search, research on such dataset search systems has not been actively carried out. In this paper, we propose a new dataset-tailored search system that indexes metadata of datasets and performs dataset search based on metadata indices. The ranking given to the dataset search results from a newly devised algorithm that reflects the unique characteristics of the dataset. The system provides the capability to search for additional datasets which correlate with the dataset searched by the user-submitted query so that multiple datasets needed for analysis can be found at once.

World Wide Web (WWW) use has been increasing recently due to users needing more information. Lately, there has been a growing trend in the document information available to end users through the internet. The web's document search process is essential to find relevant documents for user queries.As the number of general web pages increases, it becomes increasingly challenging for users to find records that are appropriate to their interests. However, using existing Document Information Retrieval (DIR) approaches is time-consuming for large document collections. To alleviate the problem, this novel presents Spatial Clustering Ranking Pattern (SCRP) based Density Ant Colony Information Retrieval (DACIR) for user queries based DIR. The proposed first stage is the Term Frequency Weight (TFW) technique to identify the query weightage-based frequency. Based on the weight score, they are grouped and ranked using the proposed Spatial Clustering Ranking Pattern (SCRP) technique. Finally, based on ranking, select the most relevant information retrieves the document using DACIR algorithm.The proposed method outperforms traditional information retrieval methods regarding the quality of returned objects while performing significantly better in run time.

Recently, as Social Network Services(SNS), such as Twitter, Facebook, are becoming more popular, much research has been doing actively. However, since SNS has been launched recently, related researches are also infant level. Especially, search engines serviced in web potals simply show the postings in order of upload time. Searching the postings in Twitter should be different from web search, which is based on traditional TF-IDF. In this paper, we present the new method of searching and ranking the interesting postings in Twitter. In proposed method, we utilize the frequency of retweets as a major factor for estimating the quality of postings. It can be an important criteria since users tend to retweet the valuable postings. Experimental results show that proposed method can be applied successfully in Twitter search system.

The World Wide Web has emerged as largest media which provides even a single user to market their products and publish desired information; on the other hand the user can access what kind of information abundantly enough as well. As a result web holds large amount of related information distributed over multiple web pages. The current search engines search for all the entered keywords in a single webpage and rank the resulting set of web pages as an answer to the user query. But this approach fails to retrieve the pair of web pages which contains more relevant information for users search. We introduce a new search paradigm which gives different weights to the query keywords according to their order of appearance. We propose a new arc weight measure that assigns more relevance to the pair of web pages with alternate keywords present so that the pair of web pages which contains related but distributed information can be presented to the user. Our measure proved to be effective on the similarity search in which the experimentation represented the e~arc ranking measure outperforming the conventional ones.

The PageRank algorithm is an important component for ranking Web pages in Google and other search engines. While many improvements for the original PageRank algorithm have been proposed, it is unclear which variations (and their combinations) provide the "best" ranked results. In this paper, we evaluate the ranking quality of the well-known variations of the original PageRank algorithm and their combinations. In order to do this, we first classify the variations into link-based approaches, which exploit the link structure of the Web, and knowledge-based approaches, which exploit the semantics of the Web. We then propose algorithms that combine the ranking algorithms in these two approaches and implement both the variations and their combinations. For our evaluation, we perform extensive experiments using a real data set of one million Web pages. Through the experiments, we find the algorithms that provide the best ranked results from either the variations or their combinations.

The number of interconnected real-world devices such as sensors, actuators, and physical devices has increased with the advancement of technology. Due to this advancement, users face difficulties searching for the location of these devices, and the central issue is the findability of Things. In the WoT environment, keyword-based and geospatial searching approaches are used to locate these devices anywhere and on the web interface. A few static methods of indexing and ranking are discussed in the literature, but they are not suitable for finding devices dynamically. The authors have proposed a mechanism for dynamic and efficient searching of the devices in this paper. Indexing and ranking approaches can improve dynamic searching in different ways. The present paper has focused on indexing for improving dynamic searching and has indexed the Things Description in Solr. This paper presents the Things Description according to the model of W3C JSON-LD along with the open-access APIs. Search efficiency can be analyzed with query response timings, and the accuracy of response timings is critical for search results. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have evaluated their approach by analyzing the search query response timings and the accuracy of their search results. This study utilized different indexing approaches such as key-words-based, spatial, and hybrid. Results indicate that response time and accuracy are better with the hybrid approach than with keyword-based and spatial indexing approaches.

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential contribution of citation metrics to improving the search performance of citation index databases. To this end, the study generated ten queries in the field of library and information science and conducted experiments based on the relevance assessment using 3,467 documents retrieved from the Web of Science and 60,734 documents published in 85 SSCI journals in the field of library and information science from 2000 to 2021. The experiments included re-ranking of the top 100 search results using citation metrics and search methods, query expansion experiments using vector space model retrieval systems, and the construction of a citation-based re-ranking system. The results are as follows: 1) Re-ranking using citation metrics differed from Web of Science's performance, acting as independent metrics. 2) Combining query term frequencies and citation counts positively affected performance. 3) Query expansion generally improved performance compared to the vector space model baseline. 4) User-based query expansion outperformed system-based. 5) Combining citation counts with suitability documents affected ranking within top suitability documents.

Real-time search keywords are not only limited to search keywords that are rapidly increasing interest in real-time, but also have a limitation that they are difficult to determine the sustainability as there is a difference in ranking between portal sites. Estimating sustainability for real-time search keywords is significant in terms of overcoming these limitations and providing some predictability. In particular, long-term search keywords that last for more than a month are of high value as long-lasting social issues. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the interest based on the ranking of the real-time search keywords and the duration based on sustained weeks, days and hours of real-time search keywords by each portal site and the integrated portal site, and then estimating sustainability based on high level of interest and duration, and present a method to derive real-time search issues with high long-term sustainability.
