Abstract
In this paper, we describe the work done in the Web search personalization field. The proposed approach purpose is the understanding and identifying the user search needs using some information sources such as the search history and the search context focusing on temporal factor. These informations consist mainly of the day and the time of day. Considering such data, how can it improve the relevance of search results? That’s what we focus on it in this work; The experimental results are promising and suggest that taking into account the day, the time of the query submission in addition to the pages recently been examined can be a viable context data for identifying the user search needs and furthermore enhancing the relevance of the search results.
