Furthermore, Arabic is a highly inflected language that has a complex morphological structure, so search engines always have a challenge to find the best ranked list to the user’s query from those huge numbers of pages. A lot of search results that correspond to a user’s query are not relevant to the user’s need. Most of the page ranking algorithms use link-based ranking (web structure) or content-based ranking to calculate the relevancy of the information to the user’s need but those ranking algorithms might not be enough to provide a good ranked list for the Arabic search. So in this study, we proposed an efficient Arabic information retrieval system using a new Arabic hybrid usage-based ranking algorithm called AEHURA. The objective of this algorithm is to overcome the drawbacks of the ranking algorithms and improve the efficiency of Arabic web searching.} }
