| Abstract | Huge amounts of search log data have been accumulated at web search engines. Currently, a popular web search engine may every day receive billions of queries and collect tera-bytes of records about user search behavior. Beside search log data, huge amounts of browse log data have also been collected through client-side browser plug-ins. Such massive amounts of search and browse log data provide great opportunities for mining the wisdom of crowds and improving web search. At the same time, designing e↵ective and e cient methods to clean, process, and model log data also presents great challenges. In this survey, we focus on mining search and browse log data for web search. We start with an introduction to search and browse log data and an overview of frequently-used data summarizations in log mining. We then elaborate how log mining applications enhance the five major components of a search engine, namely, query understanding, document understanding, document ranking, user understanding, and monitoring & feedbacks. For each aspect, we survey the major tasks, fundamental principles, and state-of-the-art methods. |
