Information Retrieval (IR) on the World Wide Web functions very effectively and efficiently. These search tools are specifically designed as multi-purpose tools, applicable in as wide an array of situations as possible. Nevertheless, there are areas for which these tools are conceived too broadly to be useful: health or biomedical information, intellectual property information, social science publications, blogs, legal domain (laws, court decisions, ...), chemistry domain, press photographs, etc. A search in one of these domains is called a domain-specific search.

This talk discusses a model of domain-specific search, to assist researchers, systems designers and system beneficiaries in the analysis of their own domain. The use of the domain-specific search model in the patent search and medical information search domains is presented. However, it is also important to know how well a domain-specific search system functions, and both empirical and user-centred evaluation of domain-specific search systems is discussed, with a number of current challenges being highlighted. In particular, potential solutions for the abstraction of domain-specific evaluation results to multiple domains are presented.
