Search Solutions is the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group’s annual 
event focused on practitioner issues in the arena of search and information 
retrieval. Search Solutions consists of two parts: a tutorial day and a 
conference day. We invite tutorial proposals which focus on any area of the 
practical application of search technologies to real world problems, for the

22nd Nov 2023. Tutorials in previous years have included: designing usability 
for search, multimedia information retrieval, evaluation, pattern search, city 
search in SmartCities, text analysis, introduction to natural language 
processing and introduction to reinforcement learning, Apache Solr and 
open-source technologies, etc. The details of the previous tutorials can be
