Motor de busca[2] indexing is a crucial component in the functioning of search engines. It involves storing an index of all documents in a database, allowing for quick and efficient retrieval of relevant documents. This process saves significant time as it prevents the need to scan every document in the corpus each time a query is made. However, it does require additional storage space. The design of the index, including how data enters the index and how it’s stored, impacts its size and lookup speed. Various data structures can be used for indexing, such as a suffix tree, inverted index, citation index, -gram index, and document-term matrix. Parallel computing presents challenges in managing processes, handling race conditions and maintaining a synchronized architecture. The inverted index, in particular, is key to otimização de motores de busca[1], as it stores occurrences of each search criterion, supports phrase searching and aids in ranking document relevance.
Indexação do motor de busca is the collecting, parsing, and storing of data to facilitate fast and accurate information retrieval. Index design incorporates interdisciplinary concepts from linguistics, cognitive psychology, mathematics, informaticse computer science. An alternate name for the process, in the context of search engines designed to find páginas web on the Internet, is web indexing.
Popular search engines focus on the full-text indexing of online, natural language documents. Media types such as pictures, video, audio, and graphics are also searchable.
Meta search engines reuse the indices of other services and do not store a local index whereas cache-based search engines permanently store the index along with the corpus. Unlike full-text indices, partial-text services restrict the depth indexed to reduce index size. Larger services typically perform indexing at a predetermined time interval due to the required time and processing costs, while agent-based search engines index in real time.
