- Jamie Callan. 2000. Next Generation Web Search: Setting Our Sites.. Abstract: The current state of web search is most successful at directing users to appropriate web sites. Once at the site, the user has a choice of following hyperlinks or using site search, but the latter is notoriously problematic. One solution is to develop specialized search interfaces that explicitly support the types of tasks users perform using the information specific to the site. A new way to support task-based site search is to dynamically present appropriate metadata that organizes the search results and suggests what to look at next, as a personalized intermixing of search and hypertext.
