Abstract

See full text

A source manager includes an editor program that can be used to edit an existing source record via a graphical user interface (GUI). Test Action and Test Source functions allow a user to test enter a query and to test a source expeditiously. A conversion tool converts existing sources to the design and format to reconcile data scattered among the source engine data and source partition record. For handling internationalization issues, aspects of the invention include persistently storing the source's encoding type during the configuration process, and then using that encoding type later during the deep harvest phase. According to another aspect of the invention a solution for selecting a summary passage for a particular source is provided. Other aspects of the invention include solutions for character encoding, “Next Links” recognition and “Next Results” handling.
