Login

User Accounts in the Searchlab are used to personalize search indexes:

• every user may generate several Corpora (a Corpus is a document set generted by web crawls)
• users can provide access to their search corpus using their ID and a corpus name
• user-IDs may become group IDs where several users are able to modify the group content
• a future extension will allow named user-IDs so search indexes can be accessed also with names, not only IDs

Authorized Accounts

We do not provide sign-up by email here yet.

Demo Accounts with limited Authorization

We also provide anonymous authentication using temporary User IDs for demo purpose. Existing IDs can be submitted here to access any account, even authorized ones, but without access to changes to those accounts.

Enter existing IDs or generate a new one:

You can keep your id private or you can share it publicly. Because every id may be owned/lost or never be used again, we treat user accounts without ownership right now as temporary and expendable entity. Please be prepared that your id may be deleted by the platform at any time.
