Abstract:
Several approaches are possible for creating specialized search engines. For example, you can use the API of existing commercial search engines or create engine from scratch with reusable components such as open source indexer. RSS format is used for spreading information from websites, creating new applications (mashups), or collecting information for competitive or technical watch. In this paper, we focus on the study case of an RSS search engine development. We identify issues and propose ways to address them.
