Abstract

Motivated by the success of social tagging in web communities, this paper proposes a novel document tagging method more suitable for the enterprise environment, named weighted tagging. The method allows users to tag a document with weighted tags which are then used as an additional source for the query matching and relevance scoring to improve the search results. The method enables a user-driven search result ranking by adapting the relevance score of a search result through weighted tags based on user feedbacks. A prototype intranet search system has been built to demonstrate the viability of the method.
