Exploratory search is very important and challenging activity for the web searchers. In exploratory search, the searcher is unfamiliar with their problem domain unsure about the ways to achieve their goal, or lacks a well-defined goal. To support exploratory search, the search system is required not only to provide accurate search results but also help searchers explore related and novel aspects. Therefore, an exploratory search system needs an effective query recommendation method to resolve this problem. However, the current query recommendation methods mainly focus optimizing user’s current query which is far away from satisfying user’s information needs of the whole search session. To support exploratory search, we observed and analyzed the search logs of exploratory search process performed by different users, and it is found that there is much more search goal shift appearance in exploratory search.
