Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper proposes a context-based meta-search engine. The goals of the proposed meta-search engine are to help ease and guide the searching efforts of a novice Web user toward their desired objectives. The context-based meta-search engine benefits the user the most when the user does not know what exact document he or she is looking for. Comparison of the context-based meta-search engine with both Google and Guided Google shows that the results returned by context-based meta-search engine is much more intuitive and accurate than the results returned by both Google and Guided Google.
