信息检索旨在从文档集合中找出与用户查询相关的文档。在网络出现前，检索算法主要基于文档中的词汇分析。网络改变了这一状况，如今搜索引擎的检索算法不仅考虑文档词汇，还利用网页超链接结构等信息。超链接分析能显著提升搜索结果的相关性，本文探讨其在排序算法中的应用。

        Information retrieval is a computer science subfield whose goal is to find all documents relevant to a user query in a given collection of documents. As such, information retrieval should really be called document retrieval. Before the advent of the Web, IR systems were typically installed in libraries for use mostly by reference librarians. The retrieval algorithm for these systems was usually based exclusively on analysis of the words in the document.
        The Web changed all this. Now each Web user has access to various search engines whose retrieval algorithms often use not only the words in the documents but also information like the hyperlink structure of the Web or markup language tags.
        How are hyperlinks useful? The hyperlink functionality alone—that is, the hyperlink to Web page B that is contained in Web page A—is not directly useful in information retrieval. However, the way Web page authors use hyperlinks can give them valuable information content. Authors usually create hyperlinks they think will be useful to readers. Some may be navigational aids that, for example, take the reader back to the site’s home page; others provide access to documents that augment the content of the current page. The latter tend to point to highquality pages that might be on the same topic as the page containing the hyperlink. Web information retrieval systems can exploit this information to refine searches for relevant documents.
        Hyperlink analysis significantly improves the relevance of the search results, so much so that all major Web search engines claim to use some type of hyperlink analysis. However, the search engines do not disclose details about the type of hyperlink analysis they perform—mostly to avoid manipulation of search results by Web-positioning companies.
       In this article, I discuss how hyperlink analysis can be applied to ranking algorithms, and survey other ways Web search engines can use this analysis.
