Abstract: Multilingual federated search of deep web and surface web data stores combines technologies for federated search, surface web searches, for access limited search, and for rapid translation from and to various human languages. A federated search engine accepts a search query and submits it to other search engines. The federated search engine then accepts the various search results, post processes them, and presents them to a user. The surface web is the collection of freely accessible web sites that typically get crawled and indexed by search engines. The deep web is the data that is out there on the internet but having barriers to access such as subscription or technology. Language is also a barrier to access. Multilingual federated search techniques can provide users with search results gleaned from a vast number of sources in a variety of languages.
