Optimizing Result Prefetching in Web Search Engines with Segmented Indices

Summary: Proposes a constant-page prefetch policy for segmented-index engines, leveraging observed user browsing of few result pages. Builds a query-processing model and cost analysis to compute optimal prefetch count for local inverted partitions and short global queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
