Users' Perceptions of the Web As Revealed by Transaction Log Analysis.
Moukdad, Haidar; Large, Andrew
Online Information Review, v25 n6 p349-58 2001
Describes the results of a transaction log analysis of a Web search engine, WebCrawler, to analyze user's queries for information retrieval. Results suggest most users do not employ advanced search features, and the linguistic structure often resembles a human-human communication model that is not always successful in human-computer communication.
