  2. Background • Web archives present unique resources of complex, dynamic, and linked information at an unprecedented scale and covering large temporal contexts. • Fast and cost-effective search and access strategies for web archives are quite challenging, especially when search and browsing are conducted within a temporal context. • Our work: A prototype system that enables users to easily search and access web archives using high level queries.

  3. Full-text Search a Web Archive(in a better way) Q1. Search web archives using a combination of terms and time spans. Our approach provides an intuitive interface, coupled with effective storage organization and indexing schemes. Q2. How to handle time-constrained search (“Sept 11” before 2001)? Our approach provides much higher efficiency than the typical “Search all first, then filter out” approach. We use a ranking function that is time dependent. Q3. How are the returned results grouped and ranked? We develop a ranking scheme that groups similar (either spatially or temporally) results together, and score each group separately. Archiving 2009
