a system 100 that facilitates determining a user's intent given a user search query comprises a search engine that is employed to search over a collection of objects within a data store to retrieve a user search result set. The objects within the result set are associated with queries that were previously utilized to locate such objects. A level of relatedness between the previous queries and the user search query is determined, and previous queries that are associated with a result set that is novel and related to the user search result set are returned to the user. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention.
This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention.
It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention.
Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The present invention is based upon the inventors' realization that users typically have difficulties in transferring thoughts within the mind to a user search query.
More particularly, individuals have difficulty generating a query that can locate objects within a data store (e.
g.
, the Internet) that they intend to find.
The present invention is directed to assisting the user to discover their intent with respect to objects that are desirably searched over.
This is accomplished via associating each object within a data store that is searched over with queries that were previously employed to locate such object(s).
For example, several disparate queries can be utilized to find a substantially similar object.
Thus, each time an object is accessed via a query, such query is associated with the object.
For instance, each query (or a signature thereof) entered into a search engine can be stored, and objects located by such queries (result sets) can likewise be stored.
It is to be understood, however, that any manner of associating objects with queries previously employed to locate such objects is contemplated by the present invention.
A search component receives a user query and searches the data store for objects according to such user query.
The collection of returned objects creates a result set for the query.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the result set can be limited to a threshold number of highly ranked objects.
This can be beneficial when a search utilizing the user query would return numerous (e
