Web Search Query Result Optimization based on Memetic Algorithms: A Comparative Study
In recent years, the importance and volume of online biological databases, grows tremendously, which makes searching and manipulating data quite challenging.The present study was conducted to minimize the retrieval time of precise data from remote and voluminous databases using metasearch methods. The search query results were optimized by the proposed adaptive cellular Memetic Algorithms (ACMA) implemented over heterogeneous entomological databases. The performance of the algorithm was analyzed by comparing with Genetic Algorithms and with popular search engines like Yahoo, Bing and Ask. The results revealed that ACMA enhanced in efficiency for about thirty-seven times better than the Genetic Algorithms. Despite the growth of data, the performance of the algorithm improves in retrieval time, however making no compromise with its quality.The outcome of the present research could be useful for extending the idea for other similar research areas, and applications like life-science databases with slight modifications.
