Abstract
The trend of information retrieval related to Islamic scriptures is on the rise. One of the most popular and regularly read Islamic scripture is the Digital Quran. Digital Quran is written in Arabic and involve the use of diacritics/symbols. These diacritics assist the user in reading the Quranic verses properly and interpret the meaning correctly. However, these diacritics reduce the accuracy of Quranic verse retrieval. There are numerous Quranic websites available on the internet from where users can find and retrieve any Quranic verse. This paper investigates the performance of most popular Quranic search engines with respect to the accuracy of verse retrieval based on different observations. The findings will help in developing a more efficient search engine for Digital Quran.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
