Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for searching that uses social filtering between collaborating agents to track user behavior and to guide the search for documents and information stored in electronic form. The present invention records background information about each user in a user profile. User profiles are learned from a training set of pages or by observing user behavior. The method of the present invention increases the number of search results which are likely to be perceived by the user as highly relevant because of a "peer effect". The present invention allows the use of best-first search of the Web which performs better than the depth-first or breadth-first search used in past approaches.
