Clustering search results for mobile terminals

Abstract

Mobile terminals such as cell phones are much more restricted in terms of input/output functionality and, therefore, some special techniques must be incorporated to enable them to be easily used for Web searching. Further, searching for a location name is related to a dazzling variety of topics. We relate these two factors to each other to yield a new search system for map and text information. Presenting search results as clusters is helpful for users, especially in a mobile environment. The system makes mobile web searching easier and more efficient.
