Identifying missing content using searcher skill ratings

摘要

An approach for identifying missing content is provided. An approach includes: receiving a search string; determining a skill rating associated with a searcher that generated the search string; and searching a database using the search string. The approach also includes: updating at least one of a first score associated with the search string and a second score associated with the database based on the skill rating; and generating an alert based on one of the first score exceeding a first threshold and the second score exceeding a second threshold.

1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure comprising a combination of hardware and software, the method comprising:
receiving a search string to produce a result set for finding a result document; determining a skill rating associated with a searcher that generated the search string, the skill rating being based on at least a number of documents reviewed in the result set before finding the result document; searching first and second databases using the search string; updating at least one of a first score associated with the search string and a second score associated with the first and second databases based on the skill rating; accumulating a score of the at least one of the first score associated with the search string to generate an accumulated first score and the second score associated with the first and second databases to generate an accumulated second score as search strings are received; generating an alert based on one of the accumulated first score exceeding a first threshold and the accumulated second score exceeding a second threshold; and comparing the first and second databases to determine which database has a higher number of failed searches, wherein the first threshold is included in a string miss table as a field in an entry associated with a failed search string and is predefined, the second threshold is included in a database miss table as a field in an entry associated with the first and second databases and is predefined, the first score and the second score are updated based on the skill rating of the searcher and searches from a plurality of searchers, and the first score and the second score are adjusted relatively less as a result of failed searches by a lower-skilled searcher and relatively more as a result of failed searches by a higher-skilled searcher.
