ABSTRACT:
In certain implementations, a system and/or method is provided for providing search results in response to a search query. In this implementation a temporal profile of the search query is built from temporal data associated with documents retrieved in response to the search query. From features of the temporal profile it may determined whether the search query would benefit from relevance feedback from a user. If there is a determination that the search query will benefit from the relevance feedback, relevance feedback is sought from the user. Search results are provided based on the relevance feedback.
