Google is the search engine I use the most for general searches on the web. I typed the words information retrieval, and in less than 3 seconds got the results. From the 10 results, 8 were advertisement about books and journals on information retrieval, 1 was related to a college course description, and the 1st result directed me to Wikipedia. Only the link connecting me to Wikipedia would provide me with some real content. This was the only link of relevance on my search in relation to the other 9 links.
The other 20 links contained information about books on IR as well, and information on IR college courses and conferences. Among all the remaining 20 links the three ones listed below are very interesting, and I considered them of high relevancy.
http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/html/htmledition/irbook.html (great e-book on all topics of IR)
