BitFunnel
open-in-new
<p>BitFunnel is the <a href="/facts/Search_engine_indexing/a0anbq3D">search engine indexing</a> algorithm and a set of components used in the <a href="/facts/Bing_(search_engine)/r2pIK5HT">Bing search engine</a>, which were made open source in 2016. BitFunnel uses bit-sliced signatures instead of an <a href="/facts/Inverted_index/Kyva3prq">inverted index</a> in an attempt to reduce operations cost. </p>
