This chapter is the counterpart of the preceding chapter. It gives an overview of some of the most important terms and concepts used in search technology and information retrieval (IR) today. We hope it can be useful to readers who are not researchers in these areas. After a short dip into the history of the field, we start with a high level overview of the different types of search, then move on to the gap between user requirements and how search systems can be evaluated and finally narrow it down to the main evaluation methodology used today. This is followed by a step-by-step guide to the architectural components of a generic fulltext document search system and its design implications. We then describe how the underlying models define to a large extent what the system can and cannot do. This chapter concludes with a short introduction to semantic search and an outlook to the challenges in patent IR, the main subject of this book.
