Abstract

When we search for information we are usually either trying to recover something that we have found in the past or trying to discover some new information. In this paper we will evaluate how the collaborative Web search technique, which personalizes search results for communities of like-minded users, can help in recovery- and discovery-type search tasks in a corporate search scenario.
