A data set which grants permissions, or access rights, to each user or group for a specific system object, such as a directory or file. ÃÂ Using theÃÂ ACL information from the content repositoriesÃÂ the same permissions apply to search results. This means that a user is only able to see the query results that he/she is entitled to view, based on his/her permissions towards the source content repository.

An Anchor text is the textual components of web hyperlinks (text links or âÂÂalt' text associated with image hyperlinks). Anchor texts may provide additional descriptive information about the referred page, and is therefore often indexed as metadata to the referred document. àDetectingàlinks from other pages to a given page, and using the anchor texts associated with these links to compute an authority rank component. The referring anchor texts may also be included as searchable content for the referred documents.

Tokenization (word segmentation) for Asian languages requires special treatment. These languages do not allow text to be split into word entities by referring to whitespace or other separators. Asian language text needs to be split into tokens that can be treated as words during document processing and matching.

One dimension of search relevancy. This indicates that the document is considered to be an authority for this query.ÃÂ That is, the document is being referred to by others, for example, through web anchor texts. Many items can be part of the analysis of documents to determine this parameter - Web link cardinality, article references, page impressions, and product revenue, to name a few.

The average time it takes for the search engine to respond to a given query. There are typically two times that can be measured: 1) the average response time of the search engine itself, and 2) that of the complete system for an end-to-end query (i.e. including the application and web server times).
