Akassh A Mishra, Chinmay Kamat . Migration of Search Engine Process into the Cloud. International Journal of Computer Applications. 19, 1 ( April 2011), 19-23. DOI=10.5120/2326-3020
The basic elements of a search engine process are crawling, storage, indexing and ranking algorithms. The current approach towards design of search engines is monolithic and infrastructure-heavy. In present paper, we discuss a modularized and a light-weight approach towards the search engine process using the merits of cloud computing. The cloud-based search architecture enables customization of the search process as per requirements of the stakeholders. The new approach provides a cloud-based platform for low-cost, effective and personalized search models. This approach overcomes the pitfalls in traditional Search Engine Optimization and has tremendous scope for future development.
