Evaluation of algorithms for sorting digital documents retrieved in search
The quest for information originated from libraries, where it was possible to retrieve necessary data through consultations using catalog cards, organizing books by title, author, year, or publisher. With technological advancements, this process was automated, allowing these tasks to be performed on computers. However, due to the vast volume of available information, efficiently finding specific information can be challenging, making the search process exhaustive and complex. To address this issue, there are studies and implementations concerning the sorting of retrieved information. It is also relevant to apply techniques for customized queries based on criteria defined by users. This work aims to analyze the effectiveness of dynamic and static algorithms in sorting retrieved information, exploring the customization of queries in open-source search engines. We will evaluate which algorithm offers greater accuracy, using precision x recall metrics, which allow for a degree of customization in queries, including user profiles from the four engineering courses at the University of Brasília - Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologias em Engenharia (FCTE), and how software engineering can enhance the sorting and retrieval of information.
