Navigating the Intranet With High Precision

Overview Despite the success of web search engines, search over large enterprise intranets still suffers from poor result quality. This paper addresses the problem of providing high quality answers to navigational queries in the intranet (e.g., queries intended to find product or personal home pages, service pages, etc.). The approach is based on offline identification of navigational pages, intelligent generation of term-variants to associate with each page, and the construction of separate indices exclusively devoted to answering navigational queries. Using a testbed of 5.5M pages from the IBM intranet, they present evaluation results that demonstrate that for navigational queries, the approach of using custom indices produces results of significantly higher precision than those produced by a general purpose search algorithm.
