Towards a Better Understanding of Query Reformulation Behavior in Web Search
The Web Conference, 2021As queries submitted by users directly affect search experiences, how to organize queries has always been a research focus in Web search studies. While search request becomes complex and exploratory, many search sessions contain more than a single query ...

Web search query privacy: Evaluating query obfuscation and anonymizing networks
Journal of Computer Security, 2014Web Search is one of the most rapidly growing applications on the internet today. However, the current practice followed by most search engines – of logging and analyzing users' queries – raises serious privacy concerns. In this paper, we concentrate on two existing solutions which are relatively easy to deploy – namely Query Obfuscation and ...

Searching the Web with Queries
Knowledge and Information Systems, 1999In this paper we study the problem of searching the Web with online learning algorithms. We consider that Web documents can be represented by vectors of n boolean attributes. A search engine is viewed as a learner, and a user is viewed as a teacher. We investigate the number of queries a search engine needs from the user to search for a collection of ...

Exploiting Web querying for Web people search
ACM Transactions on Database Systems, 2012Searching for people on the Web is one of the most common query types submitted to Web search engines today. However, when a person name is queried, the returned Webpages often contain documents related to several distinct namesakes who have the queried name.

Trends in multimedia Web searching: excite queries
Proceedings. International Conference on Information Technology: Coding and Computing, 2005This paper provides results from a study analyzing current trends in multimedia Web searching. The following results were found: (1) multimedia searches are more complex than general searches in queries per user session and terms per query, and (2) audio queries are the most popular type of multimedia queries (compared to video and image queries) in ...

Identifying Web Search Query Reformulation using Concept based Matching
Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2013Web search users frequently modify their queries in hope of receiving better results. This process is referred to as “Query Reformulation”. Previous research has mainly focused on proposing query reformulations in the form of suggested queries for users.

Predicting query reformulation during web searching
CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2009his paper reports results from a study in which we automatically classified the query reformulation patterns for 964,780 Web searching sessions (composed of 1,523,072 queries) in order to predict what the next query reformulation would be. We employed an n-gram modeling approach to describe the probability of searchers transitioning from one query ...

Query Expansion for Improving Web Search
Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience, 2020The aim of this paper is to retrieve the most relevant expansion words for expanding the initial query of the user in order to enhance the outcomes of web search results. Query expansion plays a major role in reformulating a user’s initial query to a one more pertinent to the user’s intended meaning.

LiveConcept: Web Search using Structured Query
2007 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Data Engineering, 2007In this paper, we propose an approach that structure the given query as a taxonomy, called a query taxonomy, from the user's perspective. The proposed approach is based on an unsupervised classification method, which uses the dynamic Web as the training corpus.
