Interested in how an efficient search engine works? Want to know what algorithms are used to rank resulting documents in response to user requests? The authors answer these and other key information retrieval design and implementation questions.
This book is not yet another high level text. Instead, algorithms are thoroughly described, making this book ideally suited for both computer science students and practitioners who work on search-related applications. As stated in the foreword, this book provides a current, broad, and detailed overview of the field and is the only one that does so. Examples are used throughout to illustrate the algorithms.
The authors explain how a query is ranked against a document collection using either a single or a combination of retrieval strategies, and how an assortment of utilities are integrated into the query processing scheme to improve these rankings. Methods for building and compressing text indexes, querying and retrieving documents in multiple languages, and using parallel or distributed processing to expedite the search are likewise described.
This edition is a major expansion of the one published in 1998. Besides updating the entire book with current techniques, it includes new sections on language models, cross-language information retrieval, peer-to-peer processing, XML search, mediators, and duplicate document detection.

I bought this for my research on information retrieval, and it has some great insights. The only downside was that the cover was a bit worn out. But the content is solid and very informative!

A Must-Have for IR Students!
As a grad student in information science, this book is invaluable! The second edition covers the latest algorithms and heuristics in detail. It was in used condition but very well-preserved. Highly useful for anyone serious about information retrieval!

Invaluable for My Job!
This book has been a lifesaver at work! The section on heuristics really helps with my projects. The used condition was just a minor issue, the content makes it all worth it. Definitely recommend it for professionals in the field!

Not in Great Shape
I was a bit disappointed when I received this in used condition. The spine was damaged, and a few pages were creased. The information is good, but the physical state was not what I anticipated.

Solid Book but Shipping Issues
This book is packed with useful algorithms, but it took longer to arrive than I expected. The used condition was okay, nothing too bad. Happy with the content, just not the delivery speed.
