ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are described for mining user queries found within the access logs of a website and for relating this information to the website's overall usage, structure, and content. Such techniques may be used to discover valuable information to improve the quality of the website, allowing the website to become more intuitive and adequate for the needs of its users.
