Secure Enterprise Search: Version 10.1.8.4 | 2009-01-01 | Oracle |
| Internet searches have shown that significant information uplift can accrue from search technology. Without search engines, the Internet would still have billions of web pages, but surfers would have to know URLs a priori, or navigate through directories, to locate pages of interest. Clearly it is Search that makes Google popular, and the Internet more useful even as the amount of information on it grows at a rapid pace. Proliferation of information also exists in the enterprise; however enterprises have so far not benefited from the information uplift that good search provides. This has been largely due to the differences between the Intranet and the Internet.

Diverse Peer Selection in Collaborative Web Search | 2008-10-20 | Association for Computing Machinery |
| Effective peer selection for intelligent query routing is a challenge in collaborative peer-based Web search systems, especially unstructured networks that do not have any centralized control of peer document collections. In particular, routing a query to multiple peers that provide the same results is a waste of resources. To deal with overlapping document collections the paper proposes a diverse peer selection approach for adaptive query routing. This approach takes into account not only which neighbors are the best resource providers for a given query, but also which combinations of neighbors can provide the least redundant results. The paper validates the feasibility of the proposed algorithm by presenting several simulation experiments conducted with different configurations of peer network environments.

Search Engines - How Trustworthy Are They? | 2008-09-01 | Trend Micro |
| The World Wide Web has become the largest and most accessible source of information. As with every other information repository, its contents need to be indexed and well categorized, bringing henceforth the need for tools that allow fast and accurate searching in order to find the requested information. This process of indexing, categorizing and searching is completed by both known and relatively unknown Web search service providers, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Yandex etc. This paper presents patterns used by cyber criminals to exploit search engines and manipulate their results. It will include case studies of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) manipulation, search engine redirections by local malware infection or DNS (Domain Name Server) settings modification.
