Abstract

The process of searching and obtaining information relevant to the information needed have become increasingly challenging. A broad range of web queries classification techniques have been proposed to help in understanding the actual intent behind a web search. In this research, we are introducing a new solution to automatically identify and classify the user's queries intent by using Search Type Patterns. Our solution takes into consideration query structure along with query terms. Experiments show that our approach has a high level of accuracy in identifying different search types.
