Abstract

We describe a social search technique that harnesses the search experiences of a community of searchers to generate result recommendations, in a collaborative fashion, to complement results returned from some underlying search engine. We describe a dynamic model of trust as a way to coordinate collaboration, and provide experimental results to show that search performance improves as the network evolves.
