Automatic detection of navigational queries according to Behavioural Characteristics

One of the main interests in the Web Information Retrieval research area is the identification of the user interests and needs so the search engines and tools can help the users to improve their efficiency. Some research has been done on automatically identifying the goals of the queries the user submits, but it is usually based in semantic or syntactic characteristics. This paper proposes the analysis of queries from a behavioural point of view.
