Building blocks of a sensitivity-based search engine

Mehdi Adda · 2011

Despite their importance and success, popular Search Engines do not take into account all user sensitivities when filtering results. Their filtering capabilities are mainly limited to adult content prevention. However, this filtering may not be enough for users that are sensitive to other kinds of content. By not taking into account all user sensitivities, Search Engines are limiting how users may search the Web and filter the results. In this paper, we present building blocks of a Search Engine that integrates sensitivity data. It is focused on providing search results based on different user sensitivities as defined in their sensitivity profiles.
