''ACM TOIS, Vol. 24, No. 3, July 2006''.</ref> start by enriching user queries to a collection of text documents through [[search engines]]. Thus, each query is represented by a pseudo-document which consists of the snippets of top ranked result pages retrieved by search engine. Subsequently, the text documents are classified into the target categories using synonym based classifier or statistical classifiers, such as [[Naive Bayes]] (NB) and [[Support Vector Machines]] (SVMs).

The meanings of queries may also evolve over time. Therefore, the old labeled training queries may be out-of-data and useless soon. How to make the classifier adaptive over time becomes a big issue. For example, the word "''Barcelona''" has a new meaning of the new micro-processor of AMD, while it refers to a city or football club before 2007. The distribution of the meanings of this term is therefore a function of time on the Web.
