Interpreting IntentWhy it’s difficult but important.
Why it’s difficult
– Imagine a stranger walks up to you and utters two words completely out of
context, then stares and waits for a response.
Why it’s important
– Obvious: Present results that are relevant to what the user is trying to
accomplish
“iPod” vs. “iPod support”
“Chicago” the city vs. “Chicago” the musical
– Increasingly Important: Vertically specialized presentations
![Page 12: Com score magnetic_5.2.12](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a28ac21a28abea748b480a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12© comScore, Inc. Proprietary.
Search engines are constantly looking for ways to interpret and
respond to intent
How it’s done by the engines
– Algorithmically
Historical query and click logs
User-level data
Keyword analysis
– Conversationally
Search suggestions
Query refinement
![Page 13: Com score magnetic_5.2.12](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a28ac21a28abea748b480a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

All the major web search engines have developed technologies to
better elicit intent from users
Fairly ambiguous query. Product
research? Price? Location? Support?
Category level
refinements
Query logs
Search history
These are all attempts
by the engine to
“converse” with the
user to better
understand intent
![Page 14: Com score magnetic_5.2.12](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a28ac21a28abea748b480a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14© comScore, Inc. Proprietary.
If engines are confident they understand intent, they can present
specialized results
![Page 15: Com score magnetic_5.2.12](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a28ac21a28abea748b480a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15© comScore, Inc. Proprietary.
A true analysis of search intent should include ALL search activity on
the web
Web search – Still (and probably always) the 800 pound gorilla
Search channels
Site/specialized search
