Abstract

The Web is a vast and dynamic medium for accessing a great variety of information stored in various locations in the entire world. In recent days, the users are relying on Web and various Web search tools for retrieving the needed information. In order to easily get the exact information from the dynamic Web environment, search engines come into picture and they keep on developing. The currently existing search engines do not fulfill user’s prerequisites, because of its traditional indexing and other techniques. Since users have their particular goal and intensions during their search process, it is fuzzy and is very tedious to predict. In order to achieve the user’s specific goal and needs, personalized search mechanism can be introduced. Personalized Web search is a process of gathering information based on the user’s interest which can be guessed from their actions performed during search. The main objective of this paper is to provide an overview of Fuzzy Neural Networks based approaches and hence an outline to how such approaches may be adopted for personalized Web search
