Analyzing geographic queries

The aim of this study was to analyze the 2001 Excite query log to
investigate the extent and variation of Web queries containing
geographic terms. In particular, an investigation into what people
search for when they use geographic terms, the ways in which
they describe a geographic location, the terminology used to find
geographically related information and the structure of users’
queries when looking for geographically related information on
the Web. This study also attempted to determine how
geographically related queries differ from other queries.
Geographically related queries formed nearly one fifth of all
queries submitted to Excite, the terms occurring most frequently
being place names. Geographic queries were also shown to be
longer than average and the association of two or more terms
within geographic queries was found to be high.
