A Genetic Algorithm for Internet Search
Using a DB-Oriented Topic Sorted Mutation

Internet search is becoming problematic due to Information overload on the Internet. In order to help users in information searching, various applications appeared. There are two basic approaches to Internet search: indexing and agent search. An agent presented in this paper uses genetic algorithm for global search. It is written in the Java programming language. For a set of input documents, the agent finds and displays similar documents and the information regarding how similar they are. It uses database of topic sorted URLs to perform mutation.
