Abstract

Existing techniques for searching the Internet are becoming less and less practical as the Internet continues to grow in size. To continue to be useful, we need to have some new approaches to the problem of searching extremely large collections. Using Java and a patented distributed searching technique, Infoseek is taking a unique approach to the problem while at the same time enhancing speed, reliability, and accuracy.
