With the rapid upsurge of web use and internet connectivity (Access), the traditional search engines face significant challenges in the contemporary searches, response speed and the storage of bulk pages. The search engine contained in the cloud can help alleviate the identified shortcomings. This is simply because cloud computing is advantageous i...

... These problems can be effectively solved through the technique of cloud computing. Following this, we presented a SE prototype system, in this paper, based on the cloud-computing platform [6]. The idea of a visual ES engine exploring information on the Web has further developed in this work. ...
The World Wide Web (WWW), a fast-growing store, contains a significant portion of human knowledge. However, the sheer scale of the Web, along with the fact that it is decentralized, highly redundant, and largely inaccurate, causes the use of the knowledge is quite cumbersome. The present search engines (SEs) use the query, and the response lookup process is incapable of producing a precise result. Thus, researchers work beyond this paradigm to explore a new class of methods to seek information, which known as an exploratory search (ES). This ES is open-ended, and its faceted search (FS) improves the overall search process. The search engine presented in this study is running in the cloud computing platform environment. Its development is based on the idea of improving visual ES while exploring information on the Web. This notion reflects the process of seeking and combing the vast information by using the coordinated visualization method, apart from minimizing the effort spent in seeking information per query. Finally, we evaluate the proposed prototype against the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) search engine, an online database of information related to films, television programs, home videos, video games, and streaming content online including cast, production crew, and personal biographies, plot summaries, trivia, fan, and critical reviews, and ratings. The results show that the proposed search engine gives more relevant search results as compared with the others.
... In this paper, we explained how visualizations are used to present the volume of resources available. Also, the effect of the ES on learning and understanding as were used by many applications [7]. ...
This paper discusses the need for an integrative literature review on Information Visualization for exploratory search particularly in handling data overload. The paper analyses many applications and web sites across disciplines. Certain search engines incorporate visualization to allow for better understanding of the information and at the same time reduce information overload. Current search engines use the query and response (lookup) process. Exploratory search allows for open-ended search. Visual representation is one feature in exploratory search that can be used to improve the overall search. The main contribution of this paper is the review of previous exploratory-search-based works, the utilised features as well as its existing applications, visualizations as the mechanism for developing filters to narrow down the results of searching. Many studies have shown that replacing traditional search engines with exploratory search by using the features of exploratory search can reduce the data overload.

... Faceted browsing allows application of dynamic filters in exploring data in several phases. That is, whenever a filter is applied, the results are shown to the user, who has the prerogative to apply additional filters or modify existing ones [32,33]. The power of FSS rests in the ability of users to create their own custom navigation by combining various perceptions rather than constraining them through a definite path. ...
The volume of information available on the World Wide Web is quite significant. This plethora of information has, to a large extent constantly challenged researchers in seeking for ways of making the information easily accessible to end users in as convenient ways as possible. Characteristically, ensuring the accessibility of this large amount of information involves three all-encompassing processes of retrieval, organization and presentation. The World Wide Web offers a platform for sharing information from large database repositories globally. However, information needs to be searched with specialized tools commonly referred to as search engines. While a number of search engines does presently exist, most of these search engines are noted for their inability to retrieve information usable to the end user. It is therefore critical for the results generated from search engines to be intelligently organized for the optimal usefulness of the information to the searcher. Exploratory web technologies is capable of filing this gap. Therefore, this paper reviews exploratory search as a mechanism for conducting result-oriented search. It also reviews the ways of evaluating the search results obtained from an exploratory search.
