Coopeer: A peer-to-peer Web search engine towards collaboration, humanization and personalization

Most centralized web search engines currently become harder to catch up with the growing step of people’s in-formation need. Here, we present a fully distributed, col-laborative peer-to-peer web search engine named Coopeer. The goal of the work is to complement centralized search engines to provide more humanized and personalized re-sults by utilizing users ’ collaboration. Towards this goal, three main ideas are introduced: (a)PeerRank to use coop-eration among users for evaluation, (b)query-based repre-sentation to obtain more humanized description about doc-uments, and (c)semantic routing algorithm to obtain user-customized results. 1
