Improving multiple search engines retrieval results using fusion
Abdelrahman Elleithy, Zhengping Wu · 2016
In this paper we implement a multiple search engine algorithm based on fusion. The following approaches are used in our implementation: 1. Creation of multiple threads for parallel requests 2. Developing an efficient algorithm to combine results The main challenge in enquiring search engines is that the results returned from different engines do not have the same format. In order to limit the search space we use regular expressions. C# implementation was used to develop a desktop implementation of the multiple search engines. We used a desktop application instead of launching a web-site as the desktop application is not subject to banning by search engines because requests will come from users having different IPs instead of a website that has a static IP address.
