Indexing the Indonesian Web: Language Identification and Miscellaneous Issues

Information retrieval tools and search engines have mainly been leveraging research results and technologies developed for the English language.

The results include original contributions such as a grammar for stemming Indonesian words and a selfimproving language identification algorithm.
