Web Pages Personalization On a Web site, personalization is the
process of tailoring pages to individual users' characteristics or preferences.
Involves customizing some feature of a product or service so that the customer enjoys more convenience, lower cost, or some other benefit.

A More Practical Definition
Personalization is a combination of customization which includes: explicit preferences and an implied
storage for every user, and contextualization, where an
application knows about a task and offers a task-specific meaning or infers from user behavior what the user is trying to do.

Challenges Search is temporal.
Just because people search for something doesn't mean they are truly interested in it.
For example, if you're sick and search for information on a particular medicine, that doesn't mean you are always going to be interested in finding information on that medicine.
Multiple users share a computer? A user performs a search for a friend? requires user effort to be successful. Privacy Issues.
