Nowadays, searching is the most common task performed on the Web. However, the Web searching is especially difficult for beginners when they try to utilise keyword query language. Subsequently, beginners usually try to find information with ambiguous queries. Users then receive non-relevant information in response to such queries. Our goal is to make the search process more convenient for them. We assume that the top ranked pages returned are relevant to the user’s query. On these pages, we find the most important synonyms and hypernyms for the terms of the user query, utilising Japanese WordNet. We combine the aforementioned terms together and a new expanded query is then submitted to the search engine. These operations are done automatically by our prototype. This makes the Web searching process easier for beginners. The experimental results showed that our query expansion technique can improve search performance and has also advantages over what – traditional methods of searching
