Abstract

This chapter discusses the problems of general search engines and explains why vertical search engines, i.e., search engines that focus on a specific topic or file format, have been developed to make specific content easier to find. Furthermore, these vertical search engines are integrated into general Web search (through so-called universal search). This chapter deals with the structure and content of these vertical collections and their integration into general search engines. After explaining the generalities of such collection, it discusses for specific collections: news, scholarly content, images, and video.
