Abstract
Disclosed is a method and device for improving the quality of documents selected in response to a user query for documents such as Web pages or sites. The method is one of iteration, and involves the successive review by the user of a limited number of documents as being relevant or not relevant, the analysis of the characteristics of the documents so graded by means of information retrieval techniques, and the modification of the search query based upon that analysis, until the user is satisfied with the quality of the documents presented to him.
