By adequately performing analysis on log data, researchers and Internet companies can get guidance to better search engines. In this paper, we perform our analysis based on approximately 750million entries of search requests obtained from log of a real commercial search engine. Several aspects of users' behavior are studied, including query length, ratio of query refining, recommendation access, and so on.
