Abstract

The main problem on the Internet is not having access to information, but the way in which the information is filtered and selected appropriately. Because the Internet is a huge reservoir of information which does not benefit from the services of a librarian or a catalogue, the search engines have an increasingly important role in selecting the information. Statistics show that over 80% of the traffic to Internet sites is generated by search engines. If 8 out of 10 Internet users turn to a search engine in order to find the desired information, about the same number of people say they are frustrated by the inability of getting this information. Hence, the increasing importance of selecting information by the search engines, as well as filtering the information content by the user. These are the issues dealt with in this article.
