One of the search tasks in Web search is repeat search behaviour to find out documents that users once visited, which is called re-finding. Although there have been several works in the context of general-purpose Web search addressing the latter phenomena, the problem is usually overlooked for vertical search engines. In this work, we report re-finding and newfinding behaviours of users in an educational search context and compare results with the findings in the literature for general-purpose web search. Our analysis shows that re-finding pattern of students differs from web search drastically as only 26% of all queries indicate re-finding behaviour compared to 40% in Web.

Advanced methods for diversification of results in general-purpose and specialized search engines
Yiğit Sert, Sevgi; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Özgür; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-12-28)
Diversifying search results is a common mechanism in information retrieval to satisfy more users by surfacing documents that address different possible intentions of users. It aims to generate a result list that is both relevant and diverse when ambiguous and/or broad queries appear. Such queries have different underlying subtopics (a.k.a., aspects or interpretations) that search result diversification algorithms should consider. In this thesis, we first address search result diversification as a useful met...
Second Chance: A Hybrid Approach for Dynamic Result Caching in Search Engines
Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Barla Cambazoglu, B.; Ulusoy, Ozgur (2011-01-01)
Result caches are vital for efficiency of search engines. In this work, we propose a novel caching strategy in which a dynamic result cache is split into two layers: an HTML cache and a docID cache. The HTML cache in the first layer stores the result pages computed for queries. The docID cache in the second layer stores ids of documents in search results. Experiments under various scenarios show that, in terms of average query processing time, this hybrid caching approach outperforms the traditional approac...
Real-time edge follow: A real-time path search approach
Undeger, Cagatay; Polat, Faruk (2007-09-01)
Real-time path search is the problem of searching a path from a starting point to a goal point in real-time. In dynamic and partially observable environments, agents need to observe the environment to track changes, explore to learn unknowns, and search suitable routes to reach the goal rapidly. These tasks frequently require real-time search. In this paper, we address the problem of real-time path search for grid-type environments; we propose an effective heuristic method, namely a real-time edge follow al...
Limitations and improvement opportunities for implicit result diversification in search engines
Ulu, Yaşar Barış; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
Search engine users essentially expect to find the relevant results for their query. Additionally, the results of the query should contain different possible query intents, which leads to the well-known problem of search result diversification. Our work first investigates the limitations of implicit search result diversification, and in particular, reveals that typical optimization tricks (such as clustering) may not necessarily improve the diversification effectiveness. Then, as our second contribution, we...
Explicit Search Result Diversification Using Score and Rank Aggregation Methods
Ozdemiray, Ahmet Murat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör (2015-06-01)
Search result diversification is one of the key techniques to cope with the ambiguous and underspecified information needs of web users. In the last few years, strategies that are based on the explicit knowledge of query aspects emerged as highly effective ways of diversifying search results. Our contributions in this article are two-fold. First, we extensively evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art explicit diversification strategy and pin-point its potential weaknesses. We propose basic yet novel ...
