General information retrieval systems do not perform well in satisfying users’ individual information need. This paper proposes a novel graph-based approach based on the following three kinds of mutual reinforcement relationships: RR-Relationship (Relationship among search results), RT-Relationship (Relationship between search results and terms), TT-Relationship (Relationship among terms). Moreover, the implicit feedback information, such as query logs and immediately viewed documents, can be utilized by this graph-based model. Our approach produces better ranking results and a better query model mutually and iteratively. Then a greedy algorithm concerning the diversity of the search results is employed to select the recommended results. Based on this approach, we develop an intelligent client-side web search agent GBAIR, and web search based experiments show that the new approach can improve search accuracy over another personalized web search agent.
