Semantic Web provides a platform for implementing semantic functionality of search engine. This paper firstly discusses the problems in the current search engine as well as the semantic functionality need of Web search engine. Then, it puts forward the functionality diagram of search engine on the semantic Web on the basis of Web search engine and semantic Web. With respect to the diagram, this paper further makes analyses on the functionalities of search engine according to crawler, ontology and knowledge base, semantic annotation, sifting and inference, semantic indexing and semantic retrieval. Search engine on the semantic Web will facilitate better expression and satisfaction of information and knowledge need, and thus promoting efficient information and knowledge management.
