Stemming mechanism of search engine bing for single-plural words

Abstract

Today, it has become really fast and easy to access information thanks to the developments in the internet world. Search engines have been developed to find desired information in this gigantic internet world. It is important to know how these search engines works so that searches are more efficient. This work provides results that could help end-users to access information faster. It could also help researchers to interpret results, provided by search engines, better. In this work we have tried to find the indexing algorithm of Bing for single-plural words. For this purpose, we first selected the suitable words and then send the constructed queries to the Bing. Afterwards, the returned results of the queries had been analyzed. We found out that there is a strong relation between single and plural form of the words in term of indexing by Bing. In addition, the frequencies of usage of the words also effect this relation.
