New methodology in GIR systems: Improving web document searching

Geographical Information Retrieval is one of the top progressive research field in computer science since last decennium. Many web queries have geographical references and now-a-days users are many times interested to find information related to not only particular location but also in certain range of particular direction. Spatial search engines can handle these types of queries. It searches those documents which are more relevant according to geographical references in the user's query. In this paper, we present the research progress in the geographical searching in last ten years. It is observed that still there are issues and challenges for searching in geographical web documents. So, we proposed a model by which we can remove some issues and challenges and it will improve searching and relevance ranking.
