Myanmar language search engine

Abstract

With the enormous growth of the World Wide Web, search engines play a critical role in retrieving information from the borderless Web. Although many search engines are available for the major languages, but they are not much proficient for the less computerized languages including Myanmar. The main reason is that those search engines are not considering the specific features of those languages. A search engine which is capable of searching the Web documents written in those languages is highly needed, especially when more and more Web sites are coming up with localized content in multiple languages. In this study, the design and the architecture of language specific search engine for Myanmar language is proposed. The main features of the system are, (1) it can search the multiple encodings of the Myanmar Web page, (2) it is designed to comply with the specific features of the Myanmar language. Finally the experiment has been done to prove whether it meets the design requirements.
