Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) referred to interconnected the world of things like physical devices, cars, sensors, home appliances, actuators and machines embedded with software at any time, any location. The increasing number of IoT devices facing challenges which are registration, integration, describing sensor, interoperability, semantics, security, discovery and searching. The current systems are suitable for limited number of devices. Our ecosystem change day by day which means we have billions and trillions of devices connecting to the Internet in future. One major challenge in current system is searching of suitable Smart Things from a millions or even billions number of devices in IoT. For the purpose of searching and indexing, some discovery methods and techniques are discussed and compared. Those techniques and methods are studied and find out the limitations and issued of the current system. Another challenge to searching the Smart Things is a variety of description models for describing the Smart Things. In this piece of work, a novel search engine is proposed to search the Smart Things with variety of description models. A web interface is implemented in this research with HTML, JSON and XML formats. The description models of Smart Things SensorML, SensorThings API and W3C JSON-LD are implemented in the current proposed system.
