Delivering an effective mobile search service is challenging for many reasons. Certainly small-screen mobile handsets with limited text input capabilities do not make ideal search devices. In addition, the brevity of Mobile Internet content hampers effective indexing and limits retrieval opportunities. In this paper we focus on this indexing issue and describe an approach that leverages Web search engines as a source of content enrichment. We present an evaluation using a mobile news service that demonstrated significant improvements in search performance compared to a standard benchmark system.
