Arabic language has many differences from English language in terms of morphology and semantic. These areas of difference make it somehow difficult when it comes to web search in Arabic. Unlike Arabic language, other languages including Latin have substantiated amount of research in the use of semantic technologies in processing text and information retrieval. Despite the complexity in Arabic script, some significantly contribution has been made in the area of retrieval algorithms and semantic web techniques which can be measured in terms of the accuracy. This paper therefore, examines the state of the art in the use of semantic web search techniques for the retrieval of Arabic text.

Enormous effort has been put in place to facilitate efficient and effective use of techniques for Arabic language text retrieval. These efforts are still not standardized and still huge gap is yet to be filled in terms of Arabic retrieval. Therefore, there is need for an efficient and effective approach that will incorporate the best techniques and eliminate the current impediments associated with Arabic text retrieval.
