Searching the Wikipedia with Public Online Search Engines - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Miro Lehtonen.

Overview

Commercial search engines were put to a test as authors searched the online Wikipedia which is a newer version of the INEX 2010 document collection. Although the INEX 2010 ad hoc search tasks and the search features of the public search engines are not 100% compatible, authors were able to compare and evaluate the search results of online search engines with INEX 2010 topics, assessments, and metrics. Considering the first page of results, authors cannot see a big difference between the performance of the best academic search engines and the best commercial ones. Of the public search engines, Google and Yahoo perform marginally better than Bing and significantly better than the on-site Wikipedia search.
