Abstract
The contents on the web are increasing exponentially as the rapid development of the Internet applications and services continues to expand. A problem in obtaining useful information from vast contents quickly and accurately is facing us while people are enjoying the convenience of the Internet. The immediate response to this problem is a Web Search Engine. We developed a vertical search engine for a certain domain like university. The search engine consists of Crawler, Indexer, and Searcher. The crawler component is implemented with Heritrix crawler based on the mechanism of recursion and archiving. A reusable, extensible index establishment and management subsystem are designed and implemented by open-source package named Lucene in the indexer component. An experiment has been done for Chungbuk National University web sites, and the number of documents the system retrieves is more than 4 hundred times on the average for typical keywords set than those from Google or university’s search engines.
