Abstract
Document identification tags are assigned to documents to be added to a collection of documents. Based on query-independent information about a new document, a document identification tag is assigned to the new document. The document identification tag so assigned is used in the indexing of the new document. When a list of document identification tags are produced by an index in response to a query, the list is approximately ordered with respect to a measure of query-independent relevance. In some embodiments, the measure of query-independent relevance is related to the connectivity matrix of the World Wide Web. In other embodiments, the measure is related to the recency of crawling. In still other embodiments, the measure is a mixture of these two. The provided systems and methods allow for real-time indexing of documents as they are crawled from a collection of documents.
