Personal Information Retrieval

چکیده
A distinct property of personal information retrieval compared to other information retrieval processes is that the piece of information sought for is already known to the user. It is a process where the user has seen and possibly processed the item on an earlier occasion and now needs it again for some reason. The time span between dealing with the item and retrieving it again may vary from a few minutes to several years. To deal with the increasing amount and types of user items, personal information retrieval systems have been developed. In this article, I will have a brief look at some desktop search engines and more closely look at Phlat, a personal information retrieval system that aims at using all imaginable information a user can remember regarding an item to find it.
