ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a collaborative-search system that facilitates performing collaborative searches. During operation, the collaborative-search system receives a first search request from a first user. The collaborative-search system then identifies a group of users who sent search requests that were similar to the first search request. Next, the collaborative-search system sends a notification to the first user that identifies the group of users that sent search requests that were similar to the first search request. If the collaborative-search system receives a request from the first user to view a search history for the group of users, the collaborative-search system sends the search history to the first user.
