Using Hypertext Composites in Structured Query and Search

This paper pro poses a structured query and search model for applying link-based hypertext composites that can be represented with new Web standards in Web searching and describes a primitive prototype system that implements the model. We argue that by enabling users to query different levels of the composite structures with same or different keywords and getting search hits that are not separate nodes but sets of inter-linked nodes, the precision of the search results can be improved. Meanwhile, users may get more contextual information about the search results.
