Abstract
In spite of all the past successful research efforts, the domain of information retrieval is still in its infancy. As recently as ten years ago, the number of retrieval strategies that were commonly noted in the literature could be counted on one hand. Most of the research literature focused on the four key retrieval strategies: the vector space, probabilistic, Boolean, and fuzzy-set. In this book alone, we described eight different strategies and have merely highlighted the more popular ones.
