whitepaper Studying the Use of Popular Destinations to Enhance Web Search Interaction2007-07-27 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents a novel web search interaction feature which, for a given query, provides links to websites frequently visited by other users with similar information needs. These popular destinations complement traditional search results, allowing direct navigation to authoritative resources for the query topic. Destinations are identified using the history of search and browsing behavior of many users over an extended time period, whose collective behavior provides a basis for computing source authority. This paper describes a user study which compared the suggestion of destinations with the previously proposed suggestion of related queries, as well as with traditional, unaided web search.

whitepaper Performance and Cost Tradeoffs in Web Search0000-00-00 Australian Computer Society
  Web search engines crawl the web to fetch the data that they index. This paper re-examines that need, and evaluate the network costs associated with data acquisition, and alternative ways in which a search service might be supported. Based upon an analysis of the Research Finder system it introduces a hybrid arrangement, in which queries are evaluated partially by reference to a centrally maintained index representing a subset of the collection, and partially by referring them on to the local search services maintained by the balance of the collection. The paper also examines various ways in which crawling costs can be reduced.

whitepaper Searching One Billion Web Images by Content: Challenges and Opportunities2007-05-13 Springer Science+Business Media
  Although content-based image retrieval has been studied for decades, most commercial image search engines are still text-based. However, there is a growing demand for techniques to support content-based image search at web scale. This paper proposes an ambitious goal to searching one billion web images by content, and discusses the major challenges and opportunities. This paper also presents several important applications that can be greatly benefited by techniques to enable web-scale image search by content. These applications include image copyright infringement detection, street-side photo search, and search-based image annotation.
