A multi-dimensional model for search intent.
conference paper
The interaction of users with search engines is part of goal driven behaviour involving an underlying information need.
Information needs range from simple lookups to complex long-term desk studies. This paper proposes a new multi-dimensional model for search intent, which can be used for the description of search sessions. Using examples from asearch engine log we show that our model allows a more comprehensive description of information need than existing categorizations.
