Abstract

To save on computational resources, a search engine is configured to perform selective updating of its index rather than full indexing. Selective updating operates on a previous index, by classifying the indexed pages as leaf and branch pages. Branch pages are those which include links to other pages deeper in the website, while leaf pages do not include such links. The selective updating procedure updates branch pages and new leaf pages more regularly than existing leaf pages.
