Search Engine Assignment (Due by 11:59pm Monday Sept 23). This assignment has two parts that should in total be 2 -3 pages. (More is fine if you run over. It can be double spaced but use 12pt font – Times New Roman, or similar)
Part 1: Explain briefly how search engines work (What are the major components?).
Part 2: Find one research article related to search engine technology and summarize. (It could also be an article related to agents and search engines or text retrieval if you prefer). The research article in part 2 must be from a research conference or journal (a scholarly source). Using Blogs, news, or general articles found on the web are not be appropriate for part 2. Like the last assignment, you must submit a copy of your article in PDF format, not a link.
Stick to credible sources (and be sure to cite them in APA style). I noticed in the last assignment many of you cited incorrectly, so please review APA style. If you are not sure, remember there are guides on the TU Cook library website. You will also lose points for incorrect citations. I also noticed that many people used various websites and non-peer-reviewed sources. Many appear good and you may have heard of the source before, but they are not peer reviewed.
You may come across lots of mathematical formulas regarding how to rank search results, but no need to explain all of this in part 1 (unless you want).
Keep in mind that extra spaces, headings, title pages, diagrams, and long citations will not count toward your page length requirement.
Important Note: For most assignments in the class, I often run submissions through plagiarism software (which can also include AI detection). Be sure that you do not submit materials from other courses, other students, or previous submissions for assignments with this course. Please review TU’s academic integrity policy on submissions. All violations will be reported to the department.
