Abstract
Most Internet users use Search Engines to get information on the WWW. However, users cannot be content with the output of search engines because it’s hard to express the user’s own interest as a search query. Therefore, we propose a system which provides users with keywords related to user interest. Users can recall keywords expressing user’s hidden (not described in a search query) interest as search keywords. Previous refinements are simple modifications of the search queries, for example, adding narrow keywords or relational keywords. However, the restructuring described in this paper means replacement of the search keywords to express user interest concretely.
