[Clarification] Query in Result List #12

Open chseifert opened 9 years ago

chseifert commented 9 years ago

The query that is returned by the recommender for each result the actual query send to this specific partner recommender? Or is there still some stemming or other magic applied. Why this question - we want to show the query to the user for analysis and need to be sure how to interpret this. For discussion on the UI see https://github.com/EEXCESS/chrome-extension/issues/14

Thats the actual query the Partners search engine gets from us. (And the basis why that specific result was returned) Any change of the query will be shown there as well. (expansion, reformulation, etc.)

hziak commented 9 years ago

Just came to my mind that in the future that might change a little since we don't cover the facets in that query. (Time,Author ...) So we have to get them in that returned string as well. Could be that we return the end of the call we send. (e.g. query="kleiner Ratgeber"&author="Loriot")

Thx for the clarification. The latter would be rather helpful for users. And for us, as it would provide the basis to explain why that specific result might have turned up. I'll leave the issue open as a reminder to discuss/or monitor the changes in the return format.

What we should also discuss whether there is a possibility partner system could explain why they found some results, e.g. through providing a KWIC or returning the field search terms have be found in. I know that this is hard to generalize, but there are some results that can hardly understood by the user (see the issue mentioned by Christin).
