The Effects of Query Bursts on Web Search [PDF]
2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology, 2010 A query burst is a period of heightened interest of users on a topic which yields a higher frequency of the search queries related to it. In this paper we examine the behavior of search engine users during a query burst, compared to before and after this period. The purpose of this study is to get insights about how search engines and content providers

Searching the web: The public and their queries [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2001 In studying actual Web searching by the public at large, we analyzed over one million Web queries by users of the Excite search engine. We found that most people use few search terms, few modified queries, view few Web pages, and rarely use advanced search features. A small number of search terms are used with high frequency, and a great many terms are

Efficient and Effective Query Expansion for Web Search [PDF]
Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, 2018 Query Expansion (QE) techniques expand the user queries with additional terms, e.g., synonyms and acronyms, to enhance the system recall. State-of-the-art solutions employ machine learning methods to select the most suitable terms. However, most of them neglect the cost of processing the expanded queries, thus selecting effective, yet very expensive ...

Semantic Web Search Based on Ontological Conjunctive Queries [PDF]
Journal of Web Semantics, 2010 Many experts predict that the next huge step forward in Web information technology will be achieved by adding semantics to Web data, and will possibly consist of (some form of) the Semantic Web. In this paper, we present a novel approach to Semantic Web search, called Serene, which allows for a semantic processing of Web search queries, and for ...
