    Abstract
    Presents Inquirus, a WWW meta search engine which works by downloading and analysing the individual documents. It makes improvements over existing search engines in a number of areas: more useful document summaries incorporating query term context, identification of both pages which no longer exist and pages which no longer contain the query terms, advanced detection of duplicate pages, improved document ranking using proximity information, dramatically improved precision for certain queries by using specific expressive forms, and quick jump links and highlighting when viewing the full document

    Abstract
    Search engine coverage relative to the estimated size of the publicly indexable web has decreased substantially since December 97, with no engine indexing more than about 16% of the estimated size of the publicly indexable web. (Note that many queries can be satisfied with a relatively small database). Search engines are typically more likely to index sites that have more links to them (more 'popular' sites). They are also typically more likely to index US sites than non-US sites (AltaVista is an exception), and more likely to index commercial sites than educational sites. Indexing of new or modified pages byjust one of the major search engines can take months. 83% of sites contain commercial content and 6% contain scientific or educational content. Only 1.5% of sites contain pornographic content. The publicly indexable web contains an estimated 800 million pages as of February 1999, encompassing about 15 terabytes of information or about 6 terabytes of text after removing HTML tags, comments, and extra whitespace. The simple HTML "keywords" and "description" metatags are only used on the homepages of 34% of sites. Only 0.3% of sites use the Dublin Core metadata standard.

    Abstract
    Autonomous Citation Indexing (ACI) automates the construction of citation indexes - Lower cost, wider availability: ACI is completely autonomous - no manual effort is required. This should result in lower cost and wider availability. Broader coverage: Because no manual effort is required, there are few barriers to indexing a broader range of literature, compared to indexes like the Science Citation Index that require manual effort. More timely feedback: Conference papers, technical reports, and preprints can be indexed, providing far more timely feedback in many cases (often such publications appear far in advance of corresponding journal publications). Citation context: ACI groups together the context of citations to a given article, allowing researchers to easily see what is being said and why the article was cited. Benefits for both literature search and evaluation. Freely available: Our implementation of ACI is available at no cost for non-commercial use. Several orgnizations have requested the software and expressed interest in providing an index within their domain, or in using ACI within their own digital libraries.
