Abstract

Recent advances in peer to peer (P2P) search algorithms have presented viable structured and unstructured approaches for full-text search. Weposit that these existing approaches are each best suited for different types ofqueries. We present PHIRST, the first system to facilitate effective full-text searchwithin P2P networks. PHIRST works by effectively leveraging between the relative strengths of these approaches. Similar to structured approaches, agents firstpublish terms within their stored documents. However, frequent terms are quicklyidentified and not exhaustively stored, resulting in a significantly reduction inthe system’s storage requirements. During query lookup, agents use unstructuredsearches to compensate for the lack of fully published terms. Additionally, theyexplicitly weigh between the costs involved with structured and unstructured approaches, allowing for a significant reduction in query costs. We evaluated theeffectiveness of our approach using both real-world and artificial queries. Wefound that in most situations our approach yields near perfect recall. We discussthe limitations of our system, as well as possible compensatory strategies.
