An analysis of search engine switching behavior using click streams
2005
Special interest tracks and posters of the 14th international conference on World Wide Web - WWW '05
Preserved Fulltext
In this paper, we propose a simple framework to characterize the switching behavior between search engines based on click streams. ...
We experiment with this framework using click streams focusing on two search engines: one with a large market share and the other with a small market share. ...
Preliminary Results The raw data used here is the complete click streams from an ISP. 12 weeks of data is used. ...

In contrast to prior work on meta-search, we do not advocate for replacement of multiple engines with an aggregate one, but rather facilitate simultaneous use of individual engines. ...
We describe a machine learning approach to supporting switching between search engines and demonstrate its viability at tolerable interruption levels. ...
Overview of Switching Behavior Our analysis showed that 36.4% of searchers used more than one search engine in the duration of the logs. 7 The findings also showed that 6.8% of all sessions and 12.0% ...

The only user-defined model parameter in the algorithm is the length of the windows of events used during model estimation. ...
We define a search engine switch as one of three behaviors within a session: (i) issuing a query to a different search engine, (ii) navigating to the homepage of a different search engine, or (iii) querying ...

Little is known about the nature of cross-device search tasks, yet they represent an important opportunity for search engines to help their users, especially those on the target (post-switch) device. ...
Using data from a large commercial search engine, we show that there are discernible and noteworthy patterns of search behavior associated with device transitions. ...
To better capture the search intent of users, the concept of a search session is employed to segment the query stream into fragmented units for analysis. ...
