Abstract/Inhalt	This paper presents Prospector a front-end to the Google search engine which, using individual and group models of users’ interests, re-ranks search results to better suit the user’s inferred needs. The paper outlines the motivation behind the development of the system, describes its adaptive components, and discusses the lessons learned thus far, as well as the work planned for the future.
