This is the podcast for the tenth class, in which we connect the back-end for search that we have been working with to a web-based front-end. This is done using Indri, a new search engine component for Lemur. We also explore some details of AJAX and see how we could use it to enhance our user interface for search.

User interface for search

Tools for organizing and accessing information have become indispensable. It is critical, therefore, to understand their design and operational foundations. In this course students will have an opportunity to learn about search engines, web crawling, and some Web 2.0 technologies based on hands-on experience and with a focus on techniques that can be used to access, retrieve, organize, and present information. Students will work with practical developmental tools and learn relevant concepts through experimentation. For instance, students will employ an open source search engine and learn about indexing, retrieving, and ranking techniques.
