Analysis of Spatial Locality in Search Engines using P2P Network

Geographical locality in search results is of importance to the end user. However, it is a nontrivial problem. We propose P2P based Search Engine server architecture as a solution to the problem. The search result is fragmented into categories based on hop counts to hit. We map the system to a P2P file sharing network model based on probabilistic distribution and analyse a simulation model to assess the feasibility of implementing such a system.
