Abstract

This paper describes a novel technique for refinement of search queries: query by history tree manipulation (QBHTM). QBHTM visualizes query histories by means of trees, and allows users to retrieve information by manipulating the trees. The Boolean AND operator is represented by the parent-child relation of nodes in the tree. QBHTM enables users to see the summary of the queries, and to compare them. This advantage is important for understanding characteristics of collections of documents.
