web sites that is only accessible to people within a specific
group or organization. Most large companies have intranets.
Intranets offer a safe place for employees to publish information
that improves workflow. Intranets typically house shared
applications, internal telephone and e-mail directories,
rules and regulations, help files etc. Many large intranets
have a search facility that allows users to find specific
information more easily.

by total collection size divided by the number of documents
containing the term. Very common terms ("the",
"and" etc.) will have a very low IDF and are therefor
often excluded from search results. These low IDF words
are commonly referred to as "stop words".

The inverted file lists all words that appear in all documents
in the database, as well as a reference to the document

invisible text
Text on a web page that is exactly or almost the same color
as the background. The use of invisible text to load a page
with keywords was once a popular SEO technique, but search
engines can now detect invisible text and penalize sites
that use it. Although there are examples of sites that use
invisible text and "get away with it" on Google,
the general consensus is that it is not worth the risk.
The same results can usually be achieved by working the
keywords into the visible body text.
invisible web
A popular collective name for documents of types that search
engines do not typically index. Because they are not in
any search engine database, they can be very difficult to
find and are in a sense invisible. Recently a couple of
specialized search engines have begun an attempt to make
the invisible web more accessible.
IP

necessary to ensure that data sent between networks are

TCP (transmission control protocol) provides a standard
for the way data is unscrambled. These two standards are
essential to the working of the Internet.
IP address
Every Internet user and every server has a numeric address.
Something like 123.45.67.890. IP addresses provide essential
identification online. Domain names can be set up to have
a unique IP address, something that is useful in SEO. For
more on the role of IP addresses in SEO, please refer to
the Search Engine Yearbook.
IP delivery
Similar to cloaking. A technique for automatically delivering
different pages to different users based on the user's IP
address. Although IP delivery has legitimate uses (like
delivering different content to people from different geographical
areas), it has been applied extensively in cloaking, causing
IP based delivery to be banned by most search engines. For
more on IP delivery and the potential dangers, please refer
to the Search Engine Yearbook.
IP spoofing
A controversial technique for reporting a false IP address.
In the context of search engines, IP spoofing is sometimes
used to refer to the practice of cloaking.
