The suitability of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approaches for full-text web retrieval has recently been questioned because of the claimed unacceptable bandwidth consumption induced by retrieval from very large document collections. In this contribution we present a ...
Web search engines designed on top of peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks show promise to enable attractive search scenarios operating at a large scale. However the design of effective indexing techniques for extremely large document collections still rais ...
There has been an increasing research interest in developing full-text retrieval based on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. So far, these research efforts have largely concentrated on efficiently distributing an index. However, ranking of the results retrieve ...
We present a query-driven algorithm for the distributed indexing of large document collections within structured P2P networks. To cope with the bandwidth consumption problem that has been identified as the major issue for the standard distributed approach ...
