To support users obtain correct web information and make effective decision during web search, we propose two kinds of search systems. One is a system for helping users to judge the credibility of web search results and to search for credible web pages. This proposed system provides users with the following functions: (1) calculation and visualization of several scores of web search results on the major credibility aspects, (2) prediction of user's credibility judgment model, and (3) re-ranking of web search results based on user's predicted credibility model. The other proposed system suggests suspicious information, promoting more careful information seeking to users during web search and browsing. In this paper, we argue the strong and weak points of the two proposed systems towards credibility-oriented web search.
