WWW Distributed Search
Problem
- Central site gathering and search response will not scale
Research Question
- Can a distributed architecture be developed that will allow queries to be processed in parallel on multiple platforms at scale?
Strategy
- Develop Search Server architecture and implementation
- Use off-the-shelf software (e.g., Harvest) for local search (HTTPD space)
- Develop Domain Content Descriptor (DCD) that is exchanged among SSs
- Develop Query Content Descriptor (QCD) that maps query against Global Content Descriptor (GCD)
- Route query to other SSs for local search and forwarding
- Roll-up & present results to user
