Ted’s cautions still apply regarding interactions per item and per user. Do not ignore this advice. Also doing behavioral boosting in search is very different from item-based recommendations. Behavioral boosting will give you only a small amount of lift vs creating a recommender. Intuitively t

Hundreds of users are going to generate a really, really tiny amount of data (relative to the normal amounts that recommenders get to see). The problem is that hundreds of hyper-active users who issue thousands of queries are only going to generate a tiny amount of data per document. You will need

You want to create “Behavioral Search”? This is where you boost items that have the search terms in them more likely to be favored by the individual user? You want to use the CCO algorithm in Mahout. You need to collect behavioral information like conversions, detailed page views, etc. Run each
