Collection selection is one of the key problems in distributed information retrieval. Due to resource constraints it is not usually feasible to search all collections in response to a query. Therefore, the central component (broker) selects a limited number of collections to be searched for the submitted queries. During the past decade, several collection selection algorithms have been introduced. However, their performance varies on different testbeds. We propose a new collection-selection method based on the ranking of downloaded sample documents. We test our method on six testbeds and show that our technique can significantly outperform other state-of-the-art algorithms in most cases. We also introduce a new testbed based on the
