various locations in various formats in the whole world. The content in
web is rapidly increasing and need for identifying, accessing and
retrieving the content based on the needs of the users is required.

information according to the users preferences. But the search engines
retrieves the long snippets ranked based on their similarity to the
query. Sometimes the retrieved results are not according to the users
interests.

requirements in order to improve the usability of the web site.
Personalized search is the solution for this problem since different
search results based on preferences of users are provided.

of an individual user based on interests, social category, context etc
