Abstract. As the type of content available on the web is becoming in-creasingly diverse, a particular challenge is to properly determine the types of documents sought by a user, that is the domain intent (e.g. im-age, video) and/or the genre intent (e.g. blog, wikipedia). In this paper, we analysed the Microsoft 2006 RFP click dataset to obtain an under-standing of domain and genre intents and their dynamics i.e. how intents evolve within search sessions and their effect on query reformulation.
