M. Sanderson, and J. Kohler. http://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/4586/, (2004)The aim of this study was to analyze the 2001 Excite query log to
investigate the extent and variation of Web queries containing geographic
terms. In particular, an investigation into what people search for
when they use geographic terms, the ways in which they describe a
geographic location, the terminology used to find geographically
related information and the structure of usersâ<80><99> queries when looking
for geographically related information on the Web. This study also
attempted to determine how geographically related queries differ
from other queries. Geographically related queries formed nearly
one fifth of all queries submitted to Excite, the terms occurring
most frequently being place names. Geographic queries were also shown
to be longer than average and the association of two or more terms
within geographic queries was found to be high..
