Investigating variation in querying behavior for image searches on the web
2010
Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
This study analyzed query iterations and query length during image searching processes on the Web from a naturalistic approach. ...
It examined whether query iterations varied across contextual characteristics in an interactive Web searching process and determined if task goals and different content sources of query construction influenced ...
Results from the analysis of a Tukey test indicate that a mean of query length on local site (M=2.23, SD=1.22) is significantly different from one either on general search engines or image search engines ...

Effective Reformulation of Query for Code Search using Crowdsourced Knowledge and Extra-Large Data Analytics
2018
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we propose a novel technique that automatically identifies relevant and specific API classes from Stack Overflow Q & A site for a programming task written as a natural language query, and ...
Comparisons with two state-of-the-art studies and three popular search engines (e.g., Google, Stack Overflow, and GitHub native search) report that our reformulated queries (1) outperform the queries of ...
Our query reformulation technique can also be employed on top of existing code or web search engines for improved code search (i.e., RQ 5 ).

RACK: Code Search in the IDE Using Crowdsourced Knowledge
2017
2017 IEEE/ACM 39th International Conference on Software Engineering Companion (ICSE-C)
In this paper, we propose a novel code search tool-RACK-that returns relevant source code for a given code search query written in natural language text. ...
The tool first translates the query into a list of relevant API classes by mining keyword-API associations from the crowdsourced knowledge of Stack Overflow, and then applies the reformulated query to ...

Geomodification in Query Rewriting
2006
Workshop on Geographic Information Retrieval
Web searchers signal their geographic intent by using placenames in search queries. They also indicate their flexibility about geographic specificity by reformulating their queries. ...
We examine both deliberate query rewriting, conducted in user search sessions, and automated query rewriting, with users evaluating the relevance of geo-modified queries. ...
Query reformulation in search engines is extremely common [11, 6] but no previous work has studied the geographic component of query reformulation. ...

Query Reformulation for Task-Oriented Web Searches
2011
2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology
In this paper we propose a query reformulation method to empower task-oriented web searches. ...
Query reformulations are presented to the user in order to select the one that best suits her search intention. ...
Our work conflates the objectives of search pattern analysis and query improvement into a single goal; that of reformulating web queries into task-descriptive web searches. ...

Geographic intention and modification in web search
2008
International Journal of Geographical Information Science
Web searchers signal their geographic intent by using place-names in search queries. They also indicate their flexibility about geographic specificity by reformulating their queries. ...
We also examine query rewriting: both deliberate query rewriting, conducted in web search sessions, and automated query rewriting, with manual relevance judgements of geo-modified queries. ...
In Section 2 we give a brief overview of the technology we employ to identify placenames in web search queries. ...

Exploring the use of labels to shortcut search trails
2010
Proceeding of the 33rd international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '10
In this poster we present a comparative oracle study of techniques to shortcut sub-optimal search trails using labels derived from social bookmarking, anchor text, query logs, and a human-computation game ...
