Creator of article removed PROD; seems to be a clear case of attempting to make an unknown term more popular. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 06:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Coffee, this is not an unknown term. Please just simply run a google search for "User Intent". You will see. Here is a link to google's result page: https://www.google.com/search?q=user+intent&hl=en&gl=us Thanks. JoseRolles (talk) 07:00, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

When I removed the code at the top, the notice from Wikipedia was that I can remove it if I added a description to the Save Change. Which I did: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_Intent&diff=756698582&oldid=756698217 "User Intent" is a huge topic in the world of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing). You can see that there is somewhat outdated content in web search query#Types and it only touches on it a small bit.]

 * From WP:NOTNEO: Some neologisms can be in frequent use, and it may be possible to pull together many facts about a particular term and show evidence of its usage on the Internet or in larger society. To support an article about a particular term or concept, we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term. An editor's personal observations and research (e.g. finding blogs, books, and articles that use the term rather than are about the term) are insufficient to support articles on neologisms because this may require analysis and synthesis of primary source material to advance a position, which is explicitly prohibited by the original research policy. &mdash; <big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 16:30, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Book on advertising about user intent


 * Here is an excerpt from a Cambridge-published book on advertising Understanding Sponsored Search: Core Elements of Keyword Advertising


 * "The user intent [40, 41, 42] is somewhat unique to Web searching. So, given the importance and application of intent, we cover it here.
 * What can we learn from underlying intent of a searcher's key terms?
 * Naturally, different queries often have different underlying needs, and these underlying needs often unduce different types of searcher behavior, from click-through behavior to browsing behavior. For example, empirical studies have noted that broad informational queries (e.g., digital camera) requre more browsing by searchers relative to more focused queries (e.g., find a Nokia camera) [43].
 * The research into user intent in Web search begins with Broder [40], who proposed three broad user-intent classifications for Web queries: navigational, informational, and transactional. This framework was based on empirical observation, and it has been supported by a string of empirical research in the area of Web searching. For example, Spink and Jansen [44] report that e-commerce-related queries varied from approximately 12 percent to 24 percent using various Web search engine transaction logs. Jansen, Spink, and Pedersen [45] stated that there was a significan use of search engines as a navigation appliance."

 * Comment I think this is one for Wiktionary. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 17:46, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think JoseRolles has fairly well demonstrated that there has been significant coverage over an extended period of time, that is, specifically discussing the concept, and not simply using the term.. I will point out though that, since the article describes a concept, it should be moved to User intent, with the lowercase second word. Timothy Joseph Wood  19:03, 3 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep but kill the section "The Different Types of User Intents" -- with the red links, it looks like a part of a promo campaign. The fewer brand names the article contains, the better. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
