Indexing in information retrieval is the process of creating an organized and searchable database of information, making it easier and faster to retrieve relevant data. It involves assigning keywords or descriptors to documents or records based on their content, allowing users to easily find information by searching these terms in the index. Indexing improves search efficiency and facilitates quick access to specific information within a large set of documents.

Information retrieval is the process of accessing and retrieving relevant information from a collection of data sources. It involves searching for and retrieving documents or data that are relevant to a user's query or information need. Techniques such as indexing, querying, and ranking are commonly used in information retrieval systems to make the search process more efficient and effective.
Some techniques used in information handling and retrieval include indexing, sorting, filtering, and searching methods. These methods help organize, process, and retrieve information efficiently to meet user needs.
