Distributed index updating method for intranet information retrieval

Crawling and indexing have been argued over with regards to existing search engines, however, although the high speed of crawling has been studied widely, improvements in the speed of indexing have seldom been discussed. Building a fresh information search engine should, however, unify these arguments concerning crawling and indexing. An index updating process based on a pipeline that unifies crawling and indexing was proposed. The techniques of a distributed index updating process are discussed with regards to a distributed cooperative search engine.
