Abstract

With the exponential growth of the World Wide Web (WWW), it has become the most popular place to gather information. However the size of the WWW makes it difficult for people to locate relevant information. About 85 % of all Web users use search engines of some kind for this purpose. However, existing search engines often do not return relevant information. The main focus of this paper is to improve search performance by using keywords and web pages which have been previously used or visited by other users. The Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) method has been adapted to maintain a concept map of keywords. This paper shows how both precision and recall has improved the specific-domain area, in which users can share the same knowledge.
