This chapter explains the multi-agent system for effective information retrieval using information scent in query log mining. The precision of search results is low due to difficult to infer the information need of the small size search query and therefore information need of the user is not satisfied effectively. Information Scent is used for modeling the information need of user web search session and clustering is performed to identify the similar information need sessions. Hyper Link-Induced Topic Search (HITS) is executed on clusters to generate the Hubs and authorities for web page recommendations to users who search with similar intents. This multi-agent system based on clustered query sessions uses query operations like expansion and recommendation to infer the information need of user search queries and recommends Hubs and authorities for effective web search.
