Abstract
This paper describes and evaluates a case-based approach to personalizing Web search by post-processing the results returned by a Web search engine to reflect the interests of a community of like-minded searchers. The search experiences of a community of users are captured as a case base of textual cases, which serves as a way to bias future search results in line with community interests.
