books (and articles) about search engine algorithms

Hi!

I want to get more insight into various search engine algorithms. I have 
wide knowledge of standard data structures & algorithms (hashvalues, 
trees,  graphs, etc.). I thought that Lucene would be good place to 
start to seek for information and indeed I've found some decent 
information at Nutch website. However, I decided to post here some 
personal opinions regarding this issue thinking that someone might give 
me even more information.

As far as I understand I should read books about Informational Retrieval 
(i.e. Modern Information Retrieval by Balza-Yates, Ribero-Neto). Any update?

I also found using one article about link spam and citeseer wide 
articles about link spam techniques, namely:
1. Undue Influence: Eliminating the Impact of Link Plagiarism on Web 
Search Rankings
2. Using Rank Propagation and Probabilistic Counting for LinkBased Spam 
Detection
3. SpamRank   Fully Automatic Link Spam Detection
4. Identifying Link Farm Spam Pages
5. Thwarting the Nigritude Ultramarine: Learning to Identify Link Spam

If you have some more opinions about valuable literature about search 
engine algorithms (primary books but also nice articles might work, let 
me know).

Thanks and keep on good work.

I found "Mining the web - discovering knowledge from Hypertext Data"
by Soumen Ckakrabarti a usefull reference.

Yes, good references. At this moment most of my working knowledge about 
search engines comes either from the book you cited above, or from 
papers found on Citeseer - play around with IR related terms, you will 
find a LOT of papers to read... ;). And then follow references from 
those papers ...

I also found that other printed books are either too outdated or not so 
relevant to web-scale IR.

In the end (as usually) the best way to really dig into the subject is 
to try and solve a real-life problem, combining the tools you already 
have and what you have learned.
