Abstract

Over almost 70 years of perpetual improvement, Information Retrieval (IR), has had many approaches to satisfy one’s information need. In this paper, we want to put forward and measure the importance of the inclusion of a contextual dimension to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of a search task. Indeed, a search task is no more concerned with a query and a set of documents only, but it is related to a wide range of some extrinsic and intrinsic factors, so called “context”, which became a great challenge these last few years. Besides the emergence and the significance of the use of context in IR, we conducted a survey with 434 internet users to understand their search trends and habits. The results and discussion may contain valuable information for future researchers.
