Abstract

In this poster we describe the development of a distributed search engine, referred to as Físréal, which utilises inexpensive workstations, yet attains fast retrieval performance for Terabyte-sized collections. We also discuss the process of leveraging additional meaning from the structure of HTML, as well as the use of anchor text documents to increase retrieval performance.
