Abstract


In this era of information volume explosion on the web, great number of web users use information retrieval (IR) tools like search engines (e.g. popular Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.) to find information from the world wide web (WWW) because of their crawling and ranking methodologies. Ranking mechanism is a very important factor for search engines as they daily answer millions of queries and subsequently download, index and store hundreds of millions of web pages. For a user query, ranking determines the sequence (arranged in descending order) of the return pages in result based on the popularity of the pages and the Web pages with high popularity come up in the returned results. Therefore, this paper attempts to review various ranking algorithms the search engines use to return relevant documents to the user’s query. This review serves as a background for our further study.
