Abstract

Web search is the main way for millions of users to access information every day, but we continue to struggle when it comes to finding the right information at the right time. In this paper we build on recent work to describe and evaluate a new application of case-based Web search, one that focuses on how experience reuse can support collaboration among searchers. Special emphasis is placed on the development of a case-based system that is compatible with existing search engines. We also describe the results of a live-user deployment.
