A personalized search engine based on web-snippet hierarchical clustering
WWW '05: Special interest tracks and posters of the 14th international conference on World Wide Web

In this paper we propose a hierarchical clustering engine, called snaket, that is able to organize on-the-fly the search results drawn from 16 commodity search engines into a hierarchy of labeled folders. The hierarchy offers a complementary view to the ...
Comparing rankings of search results on the Web
Special issue: Infometrics

The Web has become an information source for professional data gathering. Because of the vast amounts of information on almost all topics, one cannot systematically go over the whole set of results, and therefore must rely on the ordering of the results ...
A subjective measure of web search quality

In an Internet search, the user uses a query language to describe the nature of documents, and in response, a search engine locates the documents that "best match" the description. A number of search engines are available to Internet users today and ...
