Many metrics exist to perform the task of search engine e valuation that are either looking for the experts judgments or believe in searchers decisions about the relevancy of the web documents. However, search logs can provide us information about how real users search. This paper explains, our attempts to incorporate the users searching behavior in formulation of user efforts centric evaluation metric. We also incorporate two dimensional users traversing approach in the ERR metric. After the formulation of the evaluation metric, authors judge its goodness and found that presented metric fulfills all the requirements that are needed for a metric to be mathematically accurate. The findings obtained from experiments, present a complete description for search engine evaluation procedure.
