The conventional information retrieval (IR) framework consists of four primary phases, namely, pre-processing, indexing, querying and retrieving results. Some phases of the current Arabic IR (AIR) framework have several drawbacks. This research aims to enhance an AIR by improving the processes in a conventional IR framework.
