Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for context based search disambiguation. A client provides additional cues for search term disambiguation through the context of the specific user's browser. In one embodiment, a viewed content history is sent along with the search term(s) to be disambiguated. The viewed content history acts as a cue to a clustering search engine to display as more relevant the results that are classified in the same category as the pages sent along with the search term(s).
