Abstract
Although there are many information about crops in the web that can be retrieved, usually user is unable to extract preferred information. Most of the time the problem is caused by poor query formulation. This paper examines the effectiveness of the query word “durian” and its thesaurus as benchmark terms versus query formulation based on the characteristics of durian. Findings shows that using characteristic of durian in query formulation significantly improved the effectiveness of the query.
