NewsSearch: Search and Dynamic Re-ranking over News Corpora

NewsSearch proposed in this paper is a search engine interface, which allows users to visually re-rank search results. When a query is first made, the results are visualized using topic, concept and location widgets on the client side. The user is then able to filter and re-rank complete results by interacting with the visualization widgets. Filtering and re-ranking is performed on the server side, allowing the user to seamlessly browse through millions of results.
