Features: This book covers the main contents of search engines and information retrieval technology, striving to systematically and comprehensively introduce the key technologies of information retrieval. It explains complex concepts through examples, making them easier to understand. The book is primarily divided into three parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1 to 9) introduces the basic principles and technologies of information retrieval; Part 2 (Chapters 10 to 11) mainly introduces the new scientific research achievements in the field of search engines and information retrieval that we have done, focusing on the relevant technologies for personalized user searches; Part 3 (Chapters 12 to 13) is oriented toward the application needs of ordinary users, discussing from the perspective of web site maintainers and general users how to improve the ranking of their web pages in search engines and how to improve the accuracy of their searches. The Internet provides vast information resources, and new information retrieval technologies—search engine technologies—can help us quickly, accurately, and even personally select the information we need from this vast amount of data. This book mainly introduces search engines and information retrieval technology, including: the basic principles and technologies of information retrieval; the relevant technologies for achieving personalized user searches; and discussions from different perspectives on the use of search engines for the needs of ordinary users (the main work and achievements done in related fields). This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in computer science and technology and related fields, as well as engineering technicians whose work scope involves this field.
