ABSTRACT
Most commercial search engines have a query suggestion feature, which is designed to capture various possible search intents behind the user's original query. However, even though different search intents behind a given query may have been popular at different time periods in the past, existing query suggestion methods neither utilize nor present such information. In this study, we propose Time-aware Structured Query Suggestion (TaSQS) which clusters query suggestions along a timeline so that the user can narrow down his search from a temporal point of view. Moreover, when a suggested query is clicked, TaSQS presents web pages from query-URL bipartite graphs after ranking them according to the click counts within a particular time period. Our experiments using data from a commercial search engine log show that the time-aware clustering and the time-aware document ranking features of TaSQS are both effective.

Personalized Query Suggestion Diversification
SIGIR '17: Proceedings of the 40th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information RetrievalQuery suggestions help users refine their queries after they input an initial query. We consider the task of generating query suggestions that are personalized and diversified. We propose a personalized query suggestion diversification model (PQSD), ...
Context-aware query suggestion by mining click-through and session data
KDD '08: Proceedings of the 14th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data miningQuery suggestion plays an important role in improving the usability of search engines. Although some recently proposed methods can make meaningful query suggestions by mining query patterns from search logs, none of them are context-aware - they do not ...
