Abstract
Today’s Web users are frequently frustrated at their inability to efficiently locate specific items of interest on the Internet. This is mainly due to the sheer size and speed of growth of the Web; recent estimates suggest it contains more than 10 billion pages and that it is growing by 60 terabytes per day [1]. Web search engines are the primary way that users hunt for information but we argue that in their present form they do not go far enough to help users locate relevant information. We investigate ways of aiding the user past the initial results page by leveraging information from previous search sessions.
