A System Using Implicit Feedback and Top Ranking Sentences to Help Users Find Relevant Web Documents

25th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2002), Tampere, Finland |

We present a web search interface designed to encourage users to interact more fully with the results of a web search. Wrapping around a major commercial search engine, the system combines three main features; real-time query-biased web document summarisation, the presentation of sentences highly relevant to the searcher’s query, and evidence captured from searcher interaction with the retrieval results.
