Edition Description
Revised edition,New Edition
Synopsis
The second edition of Understanding Search Engines follows the basic premise of the first edition by discussing many of the key design issues for building search engines and emphasizing the important role that applied mathematics can play in improving information retrieval. The authors discuss important data structures, algorithms, and software as well as user-centered issues such as interfaces, manual indexing, and document preparation. Readers will find that the second edition includes significant changes that bring the text up to date on current information retrieval methods. For example, the authors have added a completely new chapter on link-structure algorithms used in search engines such as Google, and the chapter on user interface has been rewritten to specifically focus on search engine usability. To reflect updates in the literature on information retrieval, the authors have added new recommendations for further reading and expanded the bibliography. In addition, the index has been updated and streamlined to make it more reader friendly., The second edition of Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical Modeling and Text Retrieval follows the basic premise of the first edition by discussing many of the key design issues for building search engines and emphasizing the important role that applied mathematics can play in improving information retrieval.

Seller feedback (63,391)
- s***c (411)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseCould not be happier with this purchase. Always concerned about shipping electronics or anything fragile but this was perfect. Extremely well packaged, fast shipping (although FedEx had a minor 1 day delay), shipping price and communication was exceptional. Would definitely purchase anything from this seller, thank you so much !!
- i***4 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseShipping was fine, value was there for a loose cart of a 3 year old game, and it was in the box as described. But the packaging was terrible, just wrapped in a see through bag with a bit of padding? No paper envelope or nothing around this cartridge even though it’s about the size of an SD-card is insane to me. Other than that good purchase.
- a***m (103)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIn my 25 years of audio purchases, I have NEVER seen such quality packaging. Grills removed, surrounded by wrap and boxed separately, drivers covered with cardboard and gaffer tape, speaker corners protected with styrofoam. ASTOUNDING job to ensure I received my fairly priced item as described. I was truly impressed, so much that I'll follow their sales from now on. It is SO VERY RARE to get items shipped properly. Hats off to this seller. Sincerely, one happy customer.
