	%X One of the major challenges in the Information
Retrieval field is handling the massive amount of information
available to Internet users. Existing ranking techniques and strategies
that govern the retrieval process fall short of expected accuracy.
Often relevant documents are buried deep in the list of documents
returned by the search engine. In order to improve retrieval accuracy
we examine the issue of language effect on the retrieval process.
Then, we propose a solution for a more biased, user-centric relevance
for retrieved data. The results demonstrate that using indices based
on variations of the same language enhances the accuracy of search
engines for individual users.
