Abstract—A user browses huge number of web pages. There is the case that he is tempted to revisit a web page he has perused in the past. However, when the user remembers the contents of the web page vaguely, he cannot find the suitable keywords for rediscovering the web page by a search engine. When a user peruses a web page, he memorizes the fact of having perused the web page or the vague contents of the web page by various information. This paper proposes a method to support rediscovery of a web page which the user wants to peruse once again when the keywords which express the contents of the web page are not remembered by him. In order to use the proposed method, proper setup of questions is indispensable. Therefore, the experiment which investigates whether the question about what kind of contents should be set up or not was conducted. Then, the result that pictures in web pages are useful was obtained.
