ABSTRACT
Thanks to the ubiquity of the Internet search engine search box, users have come to depend on search engines both to find and re-find information. However, re-finding behavior has not been significantly addressed. Here we look at re-finding queries issued to the Yahoo! search engine by 114 users over a year.

Information re-retrieval: repeat queries in Yahoo's logs
SIGIR '07: Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrievalPeople often repeat Web searches, both to find new information on topics they have previously explored and to re-find information they have seen in the past. The query associated with a repeat search may differ from the initial query but can nonetheless ...
Predictive user click models based on click-through history
CIKM '07: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Conference on information and knowledge managementWeb search engines consistently collect information about users interaction with the system: they record the query they issued, the URL of presented and selected documents along with their ranking. This information is very valuable: It is a poll over ...
Evaluation of phrasal query suggestions
CIKM '07: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Conference on information and knowledge managementThis paper evaluates the uptake and efficacy of a unified approach to phrasal query suggestions in the context of a high-precision search engine. The search engine performs ranked extended-Boolean searches with the proximity operator <scp>NEAR</scp> ...
