Abstract
The evaluation of search results for improving the precious rank of search engines is a challenge. This paper proposes a new method of search results evaluation based on user behavior. The method includes the information extraction technology, the calculation of weight and the evaluation of results. It enhances the accuracy of corresponding answer annotation. The experimental results show that the method achieves a more precious search results rank than the way using click-through data only.
