on Fusion Based Metasearch : An improved approach towards efficient Web searching.Proceedings

With the immense growth of information on the web, it is difficult for the user to find the relevant information related to the area concerned. This expansion in amount of information, triggered by growing number of search engines databases, web directories, digital libraries and other information repositories on the World Wide Web has necessitated easy, effective and efficient access to relevant information from multiple information resources. But this gigantic growth compels us to see little through the conventional search engines, towards metasearch engines. To meet this necessity, search engines have been developed to help users to retrieve information of their interest from the Web in real time. Certain limitations related with conventional search engines viz. smaller exposure of Web and suitably low retrieval effectiveness lead to development of fusion based search engines that are commercially termed as Metasearch engines. So the thirst necessitates the use of metasearch engines for easy, effective and efficient access to relevant information from multiple sources. Metasearch engines allow the clients, an automatically joined and fused access to multiple independent search engines. This paper describes various issues belonging to this fascinating approach in the form of building Metasearch engine and other related issues
