Lesson 3: User data trackingUser history
Problem
A search engine collects the following search records for a user:
Query | User ID | Date | URL |
---|---|---|---|
"board games" | XE3AL08 | 01/07/20 | boardgamegeek.com |
"seafood recipes" | XE3AL08 | 02/23/20 | www.seafoodwatch.org/consumers/sustainable-recipes |
"news without ads" | XE3AL08 | 02/27/20 | npr.org |
Each record contains four pieces of information:
- The query typed into the search engine by the user
- A unique ID that identifies the user
- The date when the user typed the query
- The URL of the first result clicked by the user
In what way could the search engine personalize future search results based on this history?
