Hybrid search engines

Can anybody tell me what are hybrid search engines?

 

hybrid search engine (HSE)[1] is a computer program designed to help one find and sort information stored on a network by using three or more separate bodies of metadata in terms of an algorithimic process.

 

A hybrid search engine is a type of computer search engine that uses different types of data with or without ontologies to produce the algorithmically generated results based on web crawling. Previous types of search engines only use text to generate their results.

Hybrid search engines use a combination of both crawler-based results and directory results. More and more search engines these days are moving to a hybrid-based model. Examples of hybrid search engines are:

* Yahoo (www.yahoo.com)

* Google (www.google.com)

 

All a hybrid search engine is, is a type of search engine that uses data with and without domains to produce results as it was programmed to do

Earlier day search engine is based on Crawler-based search engines and ‘directories’ database.

A hybrid engine is a engine that uses more than one type of power source, such as gasoline and electric.

(HSE)[1] is a computer program designed to help one find and sort information stored on a network by using three or more separate bodies of metadata in terms of an algorithimic process. The term, HSE, itself is still being defined, and some would argue that many of the leading search engines are technically HSEs due to the fact they include ranking algorithms based upon a combination of factors such as (1) hyperlink references to a given web page (i.e., how many other sites link to a page), (2) hyperlink execution history (i.e., how often people click to open a particular link), and (3) metadata derived from a web crawler (i.e, a complete index of all websites).

 

This is really good to know about the concept of hybrid search engine. It's my first time heard of it.

 

Hi All,

In the web's early days, it used to be that a search engine either presented crawler-based results or
human-powered listings. Today, it extremely common for both types of results to be presented. Usually,
a hybrid search engine will favour one type of listings over another.

Thanks

 

A hybrid search engine differs from traditional text oriented search engines such as Google or a directory-based search engine such as Yahoo! in which each program operates by comparing a set ofmetadata, the primary corpus being the metadata derived from a web crawler or taxonomic analysis of all internet text, and a user search query
