ConSearch: Using hypertext contexts as web search boundaries

This paper describes a schema for searching on the Web by making use of hypertext contexts that can be represented with new Web standards as search boundaries and argues that this would help to provide users more accurate results in their searches concerning specific topics or subject domains. It also proposes several issues to be addressed in making the schema applicable and presents a prototype system that addresses these issues and supports hypertext context-based search. This work reveals a great potential to make use of the structural and semantic information that can be represented with the new Web standards efficiently for search purposes.
