Using query context models to construct topical search engines
Parikshit Sondhi, Raman Chandrasekar, Robert Rounthwaite · 2010
Today, if a website owner or blogger wants to provide a search interface on their web site, they have essentially two options: web search or site search. Site search is often too narrow and web search often too broad. We propose a context-specific alternative: the use of 'topical search engines' (TopS) providing results focused on a specific topic determined by the site owner. For example a photography blog could offer a search interface focused on photography.
