Although, Internet users speak different languages most of the resources
are written and published in English. This research investigates multilingual
search and ways to develop multilingual search engine models. The purpose of
multilingual search is to help people finding useful contents stored in multiple
languages. This research examines the case of English and Arabic languages.
