The Issues and Challenges with the Web Crawlers
A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to minimize the time required to find information over the Web of hyperlinked documents. It provides a user interface that enables the users to specify criteria about an item of interest and searches the same from locally maintained databases. The criteria are referred to as a search query. The search engine is a cascade model comprising of crawling, indexing, and searching modules. Crawling is the first stage that downloads Web documents, which are indexed by the indexer for later use by searching module, with a feedback from other stages. This module could also provide on-demand crawling services for search engines, if required. This paper discusses the issues and challenges involved in the design of the various types of crawlers.
A Methodical Study of Web Crawler
World Wide Web (or simply web) is a massive, wealthy, preferable, effortlessly available and appropriate source of information and its users are increasing very swiftly now a day. To salvage information from web, search engines are used which access web pages as per the requirement of the users. The size of the web is very wide and contains structured, semi structured and unstructured data. Most of the data present in the web is unmanaged so it is not possible to access the whole web at once in a single attempt, so search engine use web crawler. Web crawler is a vital part of the search engine. It is a program that navigates the web and downloads the references of the web pages. Search engine runs several instances of the crawlers on wide spread servers to get diversified information from them. The web crawler crawls from one page to another in the World Wide Web, fetch the webpage, load the content of the page to search engine's database and index it. Index is a huge database of words and text that occur on different webpage. This paper presents a systematic study of the web crawler. The study of web crawler is very important because properly designed web crawlers always yield well results most of the time.
A Brief History of Web Crawlers
Web crawlers visit internet applications, collect data, and learn about new web pages from visited pages. Web crawlers have a long and interesting history. Early web crawlers collected statistics about the web. In addition to collecting statistics about the web and indexing the applications for search engines, modern crawlers can be used to perform accessibility and vulnerability checks on the application. Quick expansion of the web, and the complexity added to web applications have made the process of crawling a very challenging one. Throughout the history of web crawling many researchers and industrial groups addressed different issues and challenges that web crawlers face. Different solutions have been proposed to reduce the time and cost of crawling. Performing an exhaustive crawl is a challenging question. Additionally capturing the model of a modern web application and extracting data from it automatically is another open question. What follows is a brief history of different ...
Web Crawlers and Web Crawling Algorithms – A Review
As there is profound web development, there has been expanded enthusiasm for methods that help productively find profound web interfaces. Because of accessibility of inexhaustible information on web, seeking has a noteworthy effect. Ongoing examines place accentuation on the pertinence and strength of the information found, as the found examples closeness is a long way from the investigated. Notwithstanding their importance pages for any inquiry subject, the outcomes are colossal to be investigated. One issue of pursuit on the Web is that internet searchers return huge hit records with low accuracy. Clients need to filter applicable reports from insignificant ones by physically bringing and skimming pages. Another debilitating viewpoint is that URLs or entire pages are returned as list items. It is likely that the response to a client question is just part of the page. Recovering the entire page really leaves the errand of inquiry inside a page to Web clients. With these two viewpoints staying unaltered, Web clients won't be liberated from the substantial weight of perusing pages and finding required data, and data got from one pursuit will be characteristically constrained.

Discovering Web through Crawler: A Review
Proceedings of National Conference on Recent Trends in Parallel Computing (RTPC - 2014)
There are billions of pages on World Wide Web where each page is denoted by URLs. Finding relevant information from these URLs is not easy. The information to be sought has to be found quickly, efficiently and very relevant. A web crawler is used to find what information each URLs contain. Web crawler traverses the World Wide Web in systematic manner, downloads the page and sends the information over to search engine so that it get indexed. There are various types of web crawlers and each provides some improvement over the other. This paper presents an overview of web crawler, its architecture and identifies types of crawlers with their architecture, namely incremental, parallel, distributed, focused and hidden web crawler.
A Comparative Study of Hidden Web Crawlers
International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology, 2014
A large amount of data on the WWW remains inaccessible to crawlers of Web search engines because it can only be exposed on demand as users fill out and submit forms. The Hidden web refers to the collection of Web data which can be accessed by the crawler only through an interaction with the Web-based search form and not simply by traversing hyperlinks. Research on Hidden Web has emerged almost a decade ago with the main line being exploring ways to access the content in online databases that are usually hidden behind search forms. The efforts in the area mainly focus on designing hidden Web crawlers that focus on learning forms and filling them with meaningful values. The paper gives an insight into the various Hidden Web crawlers developed for the purpose giving a mention to the advantages and shortcoming of the techniques employed in each.
A Review of Web Crawler Algorithms
The web today contains a lot of information and it keeps on increasing everyday. Thus, due to the availability of abundant data on web, searching for some particular data in this collection has become very difficult. Emphasis is given to the relevance and robustness of data by the on-going researches. Although only relevant pages are to be considered for any search query but still huge data needs to be explored. Another important thing to keep in mind is that usually one's need may not be desirable for others. Crawling algorithms are thus crucial in selecting the pages that satisfy the user's need. This paper reviews the researches on web crawling algorithms used for searching.
Analysis of Semantic and Non-Semantic crawlers
2021
A focused crawler goes through the world wide web and selects out those pages that are apropos to a predefined topic and neglects those pages that are not matter of interest. It collects the domain specific documents and is considered as one of the most important ways to gather information. However, centralized crawlers are not adequate to spider meaningful and relevant portions of the Web. A crawler which is scalable and which is good at load balancing can improve the overall performance. Therefore, with the size of web pages increasing over internet day by day, in order to download the pages efficiently in terms of time and increase the coverage of crawlers distributed web crawling is of prime importance. This paper describes about different semantic and non-semantic web crawler architectures: broadly classifying them into Nonsemantic (Serial, Parallel and Distributed) and Semantic (Distributed and focused). An implementation of all the aforementioned types is done using the vario...
