ABSTRACT
With the immense progress in web technologies, lots of information can be acquired from a simple query. Unfortunately with the available tools today, the information obtained can be unfocussed and voluminous. It requires user to search through information galore before he can obtain the exact answer to the query. This arouses the need for a search technology which produces exact result in spite of simple query. This paper focuses on evaluating three search technologies - Verity Ultraseek, Copernic Enterprise search and ISYS:web for the NASA Standards Advisor Project. From the results obtained by using sample documents and sample queries it is shown that Verity Ultraseek outperformed Copernic and ISYS: web in both search capabilities and retrieval performance.

Re-ranking search results using query logs
CIKM '06: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementThis work addresses two common problems in search, frequently occurring with underspecified user queries: the top-ranked results for such queries may not contain documents relevant to the user's search intent, and fresh and relevant pages may not get ...

Discovering the representative of a search engine
CIKM '01: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge managementGiven a large number of search engines on the Internet, it is difficult for a person to determine which search engines could serve his/her information needs. A common solution is to construct a metasearch engine on top of the search engines. Upon ...
