Web Search Engines for Polish Information Retrieval: Questions of Search Capabilities and Retrieval Performance

Proposing a New Combined Indicator for Measuring Search Engine Performance and Evaluating Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Bing Search Engines based on Combined Indicator

“…In 2000–2009, search engines have been variously examined using different metrics/indicators. Sroka (2000) evaluated five search engines based on the criteria of precision, the overlap of retrieved documents, and response time. The results show that Polski, Infoseek and Onet.pl perform better on the precision criteria.…”

Online IR system evaluation: online databases versus Web search engines

“…Subjects are encouraged to express their likes and dislikes concerning the system as well as to give reasons behind that as qualitative data. According to Sroka (2000), performance evaluation consists of the following criteria: precision, the coverage of the Web, and the overlap among retrieved documents. Main emphasis is given to the precision criterion since recall is nearly impossible to measure.…”

Current research issues and trends in non-English Web searching

“…Polish supporting search engines were examined in Sroka (2000). Polish versions of English language search engines and homegrown Polish search engines were assessed.…”
