“…Yee et al [34] presented an alternative interface for exploring large collections of images using hierarchical faceted metadata and dynamically generated query previews. Tvaroek & Bielikov [32] proposed a personalized faceted browser that facilitates exploratory search by providing users with an integrated search and navigation interface that combines full text, faceted, content-based and collaborative search. Now we will describe some of the exemplary exploratory search strategies as follows.…”

In order to solve the problem of information overkill on the web or large domains, current information retrieval tools especially search engines need to be improved. Much more intelligence should be embedded to search tools to manage the search and filtering processes effectively and present relevant information. As the web swells with more and more data, the predominant way of sifting through all of that data -keyword search -will one day break down in its ability to deliver the exact information people want at our fingertips. Hence search engines are trying to break the shackles of the concept of keyword search what typically most search engines do. This paper tries to identify the major challenges for today's keyword search engines to adapt with the fast growth of web and support comprehensive user demands in quick time. Then it surveys different non-keyword based paradigms proposed, developed or implemented by researchers and different search engines and also classifies those approaches according to the features focused by the different search engines to deliver results. General Terms:Search Engine, Information Retrieval Keywords:keyword based search, semantic web search, search engine, computational knowledge engine, question-answering system

This paper surveys principal concepts involved in various approaches to web search. There are many attempts to improve key word search. There is the concept of exploratory search, which represents a shift towards more complex view of the interested fellow's role, widening her options. We propose a more radical shift towards viewing information seeking as cognitive traveling in the digital information space involving both web and digital libraries.

Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel approach optimized towards the presentation of general sets of information entities that employs game-like features and social context to engage its users to explore the presented data and streamlines the navigation and overall usability in terms of several constraints that we established. The presentation environment is embedded within a physical engine that controls the movement of visualized entities, resolves user's interaction and takes part in the overall information throughput.Keywords: web information entities visualization, exploratory navigation, game-like, physics based interaction. Visualization ConceptThe times when the web content was composed mostly of textual HTML-based websites are long gone. With some popular technologies like HTML5 the web has become a highly visual medium. However, the mere fact that the information is communicated by a visual presentation does not solve any of the major problems of crowded and boring 1.0 websites. We need to utilize the power of the new web to ease the information retrieval. The current information visualizations are often ontology based visualizations utilizing hierarchical navigation [1], graphs [2] and various aspects of information space [3]. Their disadvantages are excessive complexity or lack of scalability.We propose a novel approach to presentation of general sets of information entities. We map the data entities on graph nodes, embedded in 3D space with edges visually encoded in spatial composition (see Fig 1). To engage the users we use gamelike features [4] and to meet the navigating, filtering and clustering requirements we embed the presentation space with physical engine. The basic requirement of the dynamic information presentation is to simplify exploration of complex informational structures. To improve the clarity, it is necessary to extract and present the most important information and use presentation techniques that ease the information navigation. It is also important to offer an environment, which has serious character and forces user's imagination to improve the domain space in a user's personal way. Our idea is to visualize multimedia with attributes, where the focus lies on the most important attribute leading to the reduced complexity of domain space.
