Abstract

This study investigates how Greeks search the web through the analysis of search logs from the AltaVista search engine. The analysis looks at the data as a whole and also examines the use of the Greek language in web searching. Statistics include frequencies of queries, term distributions, languages used including mixed language queries, search features used in query formulation and query length patterns.
