Abstract

The purpose of Web Host Access Tool (WHAT) project is to formulate a search based on a user's present needs, and past search results. The tool gathers information from the user, sends out a query to various search engines, ranks the responses, and then presents the results to the user. In the past, it has been assumed information returned by a search tool, such as the WHAT tool, or a search engine, provides enough information to judge the relevance of a web page. Katie and Lee Ann are partaking in a research project that examines the quality of information returned by a search engine.
