Abstract

Users frequently repeat search processes in web and this phenomenon differs from initial query string given by the users. The final selection of resultant web page after the search can also be different. The repeat click has become an important factor to explore the user's navigational behavior and prediction about the click result. This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based mapping to analyze the repeat behavior of user in web—based search and also identifies the possible fuzzy related causes.Finally, the simulation is presented using the proposed model and elaborates the implication of further research directions in this context.

Keywords
