A New Approach for Boolean Query Processing in Text Information Retrieval

The main objective of an information retrieval system is to be effective in providing a user with relevant information in response to a query. However, especially given the information explosion which has created an enormous volume of information, efficiency issues cannot be ignored. Thus, to be able to quickly process lists of documents that have the keywords stated in a given query assigned/indexed to them by merging via the Boolean logic of the query is essential in a Boolean query system. A new algorithm, based loosely on concurrent codes, is developed and discussed.
