This paper presents the application of best match search algorithm in the client/server system for natural language access to Web-based database. For this purpose, the procedures to process Korean word variants as well as to execute probabilistic weighting scheme have been implemented in the client/server system. The experimental runs have been done using a Korean test set which included documents, queries and relevance judgements. The experimental results demonstrate that best match retrieval with relevance information is better than the retrieval without it.
