In this contribution, different proposals found in the specialized literature for the
application of evolutionary computation to the field of information retrieval will be
reviewed. To do so, different kinds of IR problems that have been solved by evolutionary
algorithms are analyzed. Some of the specific existing approaches will be specifically
described for some of these problems and the obtained results will be critically
evaluated in order to give a clear view of the topic to the reader.
