Information retrieval on the web

Abstract: In this paper we review studies of the growth of the Internet and technologies that are useful for information search and retrieval on the Web. We present data on the Internet from several different sources, e.g., current as well as projected number of users, hosts, and Web sites. Although numerical figures vary, overall trends cited by the sources are consistent and point to exponential growth in the past and in the coming decade. Hence it is not surprising that about 85% of Internet users surveyed claim usin… Show more

“…While it would be possible to measure the precision over larger sets of documents, the opportunity for improvements diminishes as we approach the size of search results set used in this evaluation. Note that while it is common in information retrieval research to also use the recall metric (ratio of relevant documents retrieved to the total relevant documents in the collection), the calculation of this metric with respect to Web search is not feasible due to the immense size of the collection (billions of documents) [9].…”

“…Users can typically not directly influence search results, even if there are only few or bad results. While the early days of the Web favoured human-maintained "catalogues" which did not scale up [KT00], automated indexing and retrieval approaches largely keep human users out of the loop and can thus become increasingly cluttered and irrelevant-i.e. do not scale down well.…”
