Personalised and domain specific user interface for a search engine

Search engines retrieve relevant information when users know exactly what they are looking for. The search is usually guided by relevant keywords provided by the user. But the key words provided might belong to different domains and the search may end up giving results on domains where the users are not interested on. This paper proposes a novel information retrieval prototype by providing a personalized search interface. The interface is based on specific domain chosen by the user. The effectiveness of the search is brought by fragmenting the search criterion into different parameters or the features of that domain. The user is assisted to enter only domain specific keywords. This helps to retrieve only the relevant information belonging to the chosen domain. The user is also given the choice to select more than one search criteria to refine the search.
