In the CLEF 2005 initiative, multlingual web retrieval was integrated as a task for the first time. This paper describes experiments based on one multilingual index carried out at the University of Hildesheim. Several indexing strategies based on a multi-lingual index have been tested with the EuroGOV corpus. Boosting topic fields with higher weight led to best results during post submission runs. The experiments also led to experiences in working with large test collections and the challenges associated with them.
