Document collection in the CLEF 2018 consumer health search task is created using CommonCrawl platform¹. First, the query set (described in Section 2.2) is submitted to Microsoft Bing APIs, and a list of domains is extracted from the top retrieved results. This list is extended by adding reliable health websites, at the end clefehealth2018_B (which we use in this work) contained 1,653 sites, after excluding non-medical websites such as news websites. After preparing the domain list, these domains are crawled and provided as an indexed collection to the participants.
