Keyword indexing is offered in the NYU search engine. Every word in each document is examined and put into a list in such a way that the document containing the keyword can be located and retrieved.
The processing of creating a database of information. In term of search engines, indexing is done by a program called search engine spider (also know as robot, crawler, etc.). These programs download web pages, record, and analyze the occurences of keywords in the text, including the hidden contents such as the title and meta tags. This information is then stored in the search engine database. Indexed information can be retrieved by typing in search query into the search box.
describing the content of information objects (e.g., documents) in some condensed way that facilities subsequent retrieval. Manual indexing is done by humans (indexers). Automatic indexing is done by computers, as part of the processing by information retrieval systems.
The process by which data is converted in a database for easy retrieval -- such as in search queries.
the act of classifying and providing an index in order to make items easier to retrieve
Search engines are programs that act as a card catalogue for the Internet. Search engines attempt to index and locate desired information by searching for keywords that a user specifies. The method for finding this information is by maintaining indices of Web resources that can be queried for the keywords entered by the user. These indices are created for search engines by spiders.
the process by which a search engine spider analyzes and catalogs the structure of a web site and the human-visible text within a web site's html pages. The frequency and depth of this indexing process are important factors in getting a high ranking, as is designing "search-engine-friendly web pages".
Identification of specific attributes of a document or database record to facilitate retrieval.
The process used by a search engine to add new web sites to it's listings. During this process, the search engine robot combs through your code looking for certain things such as meta tags, titles, headings images, file names, etc.
A means of electronically identifying a scanned document image for archival and retrieval purposes.
Indexing is the means of assigning an identity to electronic documents or files, enabling them to be retrieved from within the electronic archive.
In information retrieval, the assignment to each document of specific terms that indicate the subject matter of the document and that are used in searching.
Web documents can be indexed in a number of different ways; usually full-text searching is possible when web documents are indexed. Indexing webpages would allow a user to access a search engine to facilitate finding documents.
The process carried out by a Spider, which gathers information on behalf of Search Engines, and catalogues it so that when you come along and ask about some obscure item, instead of having to firtle about in dusty dark corners, it can simply look it up in its 'index', and produce it like a rabbit out of a hat.
When a search engine crawls and ranks URLs using algorithms and places them in a database hierarchically.
The act of a search engine spider listing your site in its database so it will show up in search results
Adding pages to a search engine's database.
When the search engine takes the pages from the database that the spider has created and places them in an order based on the algorithms of that engine. All search engines have a different indexing process.
A form of structuring which allows you to retrieve data in an orderly fashion.
often used to refer to the automatic selection and compilation of 'meaningful' words from a website into a list that can be used by a search system to retrieve pages. This list is more properly called a concordance. As this procedure involves no intellectual effort indexers distinguish their own work by calling it intellectual indexing, manual indexing, human indexing, or back-of-book-style indexing.
A process which logs reference points within an audio or video file, for the purpose of searching within the media.
The process of establishing access points to facilitate retrieval of records and/or information. Source: Standards Australia AS ISO 15489, Part 1, Clause 3.11.
A form of data entry creating a linked database using alpha numeric input. A search of the indexed data will retrieve the relevant scanned document.
In data storage and retrieval, the creation and use of a list that inventories and cross-references data. In database operations, a method to find data more efficiently by indexing on primary key fields of the database tables.
fastest searching records
the process of cataloguing web documents by Search Engines. Web pages that aren't included in a given Search Engine's index cannot be included in its search results.
After a search engine has crawled the web, it ranks the URLs found using various criteria (see algorithm) and places them in the database, or index.
What a search engine bot or spider does – visit and analyze your web pages for relevance. Synonym for crawl.
A process that search engines use to store and organize information about web sites. Indexing enables search engines to retrieve results for a web search. MSN Desktop Search also creates an index of your computer files.
Creation of a data index to speed up search and retrieval.
The process that a search engine uses to collect data and build its database of information from which it will pull its search results.
Extracting or otherwise creating "metadata" that describes captured information or digital images and that can be used to search for and retrieve the information. For example, a policy number might be one of several index terms associated with an insurance claim document.
The process of converting a collection of data into a database suitable for easy search and retrieval.
