Abstract
We participated with two different and independent search engines in this year’s INEX round: The XXL Search Engine and the TopX engine. As this is the first participation for TopX, this paper focuses on the design principles, scoring, query evaluation and results of TopX. We shortly discuss the results with XXL afterwards.
