“…For example, the Re:Search Engine [15] refers to the browsing history to rerank the search results so as to emphasize both new and possibly interesting entries for a specific user. Pensieve [5] is another representative work to well utilize the browsing history of a user and then present it as an organized structure. Specifically, a user can review his or her own browsing history in either timeline mode or relevance mode.…”

It is common that users collect desired information by search engines. Nevertheless, when a user is unfamiliar with his or her search target, some efforts are required to browse and to understand the web pages contained in the corresponding search result. In such an informational web search, it is noted that information cues are cumulated as the user reads more and more web pages to approach the search target. For example, the term "cloud computing" can be gradually understood after the user obtains some information of relevant topics, e.g., distributed computing, Google App Engine, Amazon EC2. In this work, an indicator, i.e., immediacy of interest, is proposed to evaluate the possible user interest toward a web page contained in the search result. Moreover, to address the relevance among search sessions, the topic map is also utilized in our proposed scheme. Empirical studies show that tasks of informational web search can be completed efficiently and effectively with our approach.

“…Morris, Ringel Morris, and Venolia (2008) developed SearchBar to use query and browsing histories to support multi-session searches as people tend to be interrupted or get distracted over long and complex searches. According to Chen and Teng (2009), search sessions of a user in an exploratory search may not all be relevant and the search history can be utilised to review previous search activities as well as to elucidate further search iterations. As highlighted in Section 6.2.5 of Chapter 6, the participants found the feature effective for recall and navigate to previous searched concepts.…”
