Context-based user feedback is gathered regarding searches performed on a
search mechanism. The search mechanism is monitored for user behavior
data regarding an interaction of a user with the search mechanism. The
response data provided by the search mechanism is also monitored. Context
data (describing the search) and user feedback data (the user's feedback
on the search--either explicit or implicit) are determined. This can be
used, for example, to evaluate a search mechanism or to check a relevance
model.
