We describe the participation of the Lowlands at the Web Track and the FedWeb track of TREC 2013. For the Web Track we used the MIREX MapReduce library with out-of-the-box approaches. For the FedWeb Track we adapted our shard selection method Taily for resource selection. Our results are above the median performance of TREC participants.
