Funded Activity Summary

Using Past Queries for Fast and Accurate Web Searching. Searching the entire Internet, or a company web site, has become a vital task for modern organisations. While there has been significant research into improving search engines through using web pages themselves, very little attention has been paid to improving web search by exploiting the vast numbers of queries that users submit to search engines each day. This project will use state of the art compression and algorithmic techniques to improve the speed and accuracy of web search using data gleaned from millions of Internet queries (provided under agreement by Microsoft). Improving search engines will have a direct benefit to many Australian industries, and support the government's priority area of "smart information use".
