The main challenge in a distributed index and search system is flnding the right scheme to partition the index across the nodes in the network.
KSS builds an inverted index that maps each set of keywords to a list of all the documents that contain the words in the keyword-set.
We describe two applications for KSS: Metadata search in a music flle sharing network, and a full-text keyword search.
We found that KSS performs better as the number of keywords in a query increases compared to a standard inverted indexing scheme.
KSS uses a distributed inverted index to answer queries e--ciently with minimal communication overhead.

Consider the current Yahoo service and queries entered by searchers that exactly match existing Yahoo categories and those with the same underlying intention but using terms that do not match the categories (in which case, a Google search is done on the Yahoo corpus).
Suppose Yahoo came to you for advice on fusing their category and google search approaches.
is a difficult task in the Web setting, because it involves knowledge of all relevant documents (P1), and evaluating a large number of search results per query (P2).
P1 is not a problem in EXP1 and EXP3 because relevance judgments occur post-search time by judges, who review a set of potentially relevant documents per query.

You'll know it is Spring when you see robins in the trees, flowers in bloom---and the announcement of a new, improved Faculty Computer Program (FCP 2.0).
Campus Center, OIT and its partners will host an Information Village Fair for all Princeton students, faculty and staff.
OIT has recently completed a pilot of Microsoft Exchange 2000 for integrated e-mail and calendaring services for departments.
If you maintain an OnTime calendar, you can use the web version of OnTime to check your schedule from your home computer.

If you are planning on doing an internship or want a good summer job, now is the time to start planning.
Getting experience is one of the best ways to learn whether or not a career field is right for you.
Where one employer may recruit on campus at a career fair, another may look for people through an announcement filed in the Career Library.
Pay attention to deadlines on advertised job postings; if you are setting up your own internship or summer jobs, start well before spring break so that you can utilize that break to interview for potential jobs.

This is a very useful resource for any search, but especially if you're doing an image search.
It also provides a snapshot or a "cache" of the websites, so even if a website is gone, either temporarily due to sever problems, or forever, you can still see an image of what it once looked like.
Yahoo is one of the most widely used Internet catalogs.
The database is available for download for free, and thus it also powers the directories of several large search engines, such as Google, Lycos and HotBot.
For those dedicated to the Open Source movement, this is a great site.

With pay-for-performance search, you bid for placement in search listings and set the price you're willing to pay for each sales lead.
Unlike direct mail, you won't have to pay for mailing lists, printing or postage, and you won't pay for impressions as with banner ads and tiles.
Overture's listings are distributed through partnerships with portal Web sites such as Yahoo!, Lycos, MSN and others, while Google's listings are distributed via its own site and those of its partners.
Experience has shown that advertisers bidding on 50 or more terms usually have the most success with pay-for-performance advertising.
Goldstein, for example, currently bids on about 3,700 keywords, spending more than $5,000 per day on a pay-per-click basis.

OAI, search engines, DP9, requests, data providers, Web crawler, html, repositories, general-purpose, archives, index, support, digital libraries.
Many libraries and databases are closed to general-purpose Web crawlers, and they expose their content only through their own search engines.
DP9 is an open source gateway service that allows general search engines, (e.g. Google, Inktomi) to index OAI-compliant archives.
DP9 does this by providing consistent URLs for repository records, and converting them to OAI queries against the appropriate repository when the URL is requested.
To support this for an OAI collection, which only responds to OAI requests (and only in XML), we begin by dynamically creating a starting HTML page for an OAI collection.
Although an individual data provider may have its own mechanism of creating this page, DP9 provides a general solution that fits all OAI compliant data providers.

Based upon the results of the said comparative study, it was noted that the difference in the requirements for statutory subject matter did not seem major, given that the examination results as a whole were consistent between the USPTO and the JPO.
At first, the JPO used the F-term search system to search domestic patent literature by means of F-term/FI index-search or text-search or a combination thereof, and simultaneously or subsequently, searched domestic non-patent literature (NPL) using CSDB (JPO's internal database) by means of CS-term index-search or text-search or a combination thereof.
The percentage of US and WO patent literature is relatively high compared to the other types of citations.
