Collaborative Information Retrieval is a research emergent domain that uses computacional advances in both of Web technologies, and computer hardware, to enable users with sharing information needs to collaborate on many computer-related tasks. Many systems and prototypes have been developed to allow this behavior. Notwithstanding, these systems do not employ the resources of their users into search process. In this article we outline the propose of a distributed events model to develop synchronous collaborative information retrieval into peer-to-peer environments. We propose two methods of query propagation based on Latent Semantics Analysis, to guide the knowledge discovery inside the explicit collaborative search sessions, in order to make seeking process more context-sensitive by leading queries to their potential targets.
