Due to the ever increasing size of information on the web, the various complex tasks and information search that users perform is also increasing day by day. Users depends on the Web for various activities like for seeking knowledge, solving problems and performing task oriented searches. To help users in their long term information search on the Web, search engines keep track of their search by recording their queries and clicks while searching. We study how the users search history can be used to improve search results quality for users with similar or same interest. One way to achieve better search results is by grouping similar queries that involves same or similar search interests into query groups. In this paper we study how to automatically organize a users search history into query groups, each containing one or more related queries and their corresponding clicks and also we propose an approach for re-ranking of search results using these query groups. Query grouping help us understand users search session better and thus make the users search experience according to her needs. By grouping search queries we can provide better search results to the users in future based on their past search interests. Here in this paper we study how query groups are created in dynamic and automated fashion. Each query group contains related queries and their corresponding clicks and proposing an approach to re-rank search results using the created query groups.

Keywords- Query reformulation, Query Click , Search History, re-ranking.
