Abstract EN

Since the end of the 20th century, the world witnessed a technological and information revolution that has affected all fields of life, including Arabic language.

Which has prompted scientists to lead valuable research and projects to develop and computerize the Arabic language for its improvement, keeping it pace with worldwide development and matching it dominant languages.

As a result, The field of computational linguistics emerged, in which pioneering research and studies were completed, including: The Search Engine Project for Arabic Dictionaries.

It is a project that belongs to "Computerized Lexicography".

The lexical search engine, introduced by Birzeit University, was the first-ever not only for Arabic language but for all languages used over the internet.

Its engine database includes the computerization of (150) different Arabic lexicons, whether they are general, traditional and modern linguistic dictionaries, or specialized scientific dictionaries in various fields of applied and human sciences.

This article aims to introduce this search engine, and demonstrate its importance in the computerization of the Arabic language, and how to exploit and benefit from it.
