  <abstract>Queries submitted by users to search
engines might be ambiguous, concise and their meaning
may change over time. Web query classification is
emphasized by various search engines nowadays due to
the increase in the size of the web, as millions of web
pages are added to it every day. Some of the current
Information Retrieval (IR) systems like Library Online
Public Access Catalog (OPAC), dialog system and
numerous web search engines need classical Boolean
approaches in addition to the current supervised methods.
Document retrieval is a process which mainly involves
retrieval of relevant documents for user queries and
matching the results using efficient algorithms like 'page
rank' and 'learn to rank' algorithms. In this paper, to retrieve
more relevant documents against user query by reducing
non-relevant documents, we proposed a tree based
classification of web queries using Simple Ordinal
Classification (SOC) and navigation of search keywords
is performed dynamically with search session time of
users. This method reduces the retrieval of most of the
non-relevant documents and navigation cost using
efficient B-tree data structure. It provides documents that
match all keywords present in the user query and best
resulting web pages for users with different categories of
interest. We built a prototype application to evaluate the
proposed approach. Our experimental results revealed that
SOC has significant performance improvement with
existing approaches.</abstract>
