Abstract

Finding information is a common and fundamental task for Internet users. Search engines such as AltaVista and indices such as Yahoo! are the tools commonly used for this task. Users type in queries using keywords to indicate their interest or navigate through hierarchical directories of topics, eventually obtaining (usually quite large) collections of Web pages.
