Integration Algorithms for Ranking Higher in Search Results

K. Venkatesh Sharma, K. Hanumantha Rao, Nagendla Swetha

Abstract


The result integration algorithm is the core of metesearch engine. This paper focuses on evaluating the integration algorithms of meta-search engine, and compares meta-search engine to the general search engine by experiments. An experiment method to determine the priority of participant of meta-search engine is also proposed. The experiment result proved that the meta-search engine could get higher quality searching result on average.
