 Arabic language is one of the most widely spoken l anguages. This language has a complex morphological  structure  and  is  considered  as  one  of  the  most  prolific  langu ages  in  terms  of  article  linguistic.  Therefore,  Arabic  Information  Retrieval  (AIR)  models  need  specific  techniques  to  deal  with  this  complex  morphological  structure.  This  paper  ai ms  to  develop  an  integrate  AIR  frameworks.  It  lists  and  analysis  the   different  Information  Retrieval  (IR)  methods  and  t echniques  such  as query  processing, stemming and indexing which are used in  AIR systems. We conclude that AIR frameworks have  a weakness to deal  with semantic in term of indexing, Boolean model, L atent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Latent Semantic Inde x (LSI) and semantic  ranking.  Therefore,  semantic  Boolean  IR  framework  i s  proposed  in  this  paper.  This  model  is  implemented  and  the  precision,  recall and run time are measured and compared with  the traditional IR model.
