Blockchain-Based Search Systems: From Fundamentals to Real Application

By Neha Gupta, Naresh Kumar, Bharti Aggarwal

Blockchain-Based Search Systems: From Fundamentals to Real-World Applications explores the evolution of information retrieval from traditional centralized search engines toward decentralized, transparent, and trustworthy search environments. The book introduces blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, Ethereum, Solidity, decentralized storage, and their role in improving data integrity, privacy, ownership, and transparency. It examines the limitations of centralized search, including privacy concerns, ranking manipulation, centralized control, and lack of transparency. The book also discusses SEO, TF-IDF, BM25, cosine similarity, vector-based retrieval, IPFS, and Elasticsearch. A hybrid blockchain-based search framework is presented through its architecture, ranking, content verification, and performance evaluation based on precision, latency, scalability, response time, and transaction cost. The book provides insights into the opportunities, challenges, and applications of blockchain-enabled search systems and their potential to create more secure and transparent search environments.
