Abstract

Using the proper search engine is crucial for efficient and effective web search. The objective of this paper is to develop methodologies to evaluate search engines in a systematic and reliable manner. A new model for evaluation and comparison of search engines is proposed. This hierarchical model classifies the most common features found in search engines and search results into groups and subgroups.
