    abstract = "The retrieval effectiveness for English and Japanese full-text databases are studied using the INQUERY retrieval system. Two series of experiments - short queries and longer TIPSTER queries - were examined. For short queries, Japanese generally performed more effectively than English. For longer queries, relative effectiveness showed little correlation among various query strategies. This result suggests that the best Japanese query processing strategy may be quite different from the English one."
