1. A computer-implemented method of producing search results comprising:
- displaying, in a first window, initial search results based on a query and enabling selection by a user of an item within the search results;
monitoring actions performed by the user with respect to at least one of the search results from the initial search results and generating information associated with the user'"'"'s actions, wherein the user'"'"'s actions are each directed to interaction with the initial search results for a first period of time and include opening at least one of the search results from the initial search results;
determining a user'"'"'s interest in the initial search results from the user'"'"'s actions with respect to the initial search results and associated information;
determining at least one keyword from the determined user'"'"'s interest;
modifying the query with the at least one determined keyword and executing the modified query to produce refined search results;
automatically displaying each of the plurality of the refined search results in multiple different windows separate from the first window that displays the initial search results;
monitoring the user'"'"'s actions with respect to the refined search results, wherein the user'"'"'s actions with respect to the refined search results are each directed to interaction with the refined search results for a second period of time and include opening at least one of the search results from the refined search results; and
in response to detecting a change in the user'"'"'s interest based on the user'"'"'s actions with respect to the refined search results;
discarding the user'"'"'s prior actions with respect to the refined search results; and
refreshing the refined search results by executing a new query with information based on the user'"'"'s actions with respect to the refined search results triggering the change in the user'"'"'s interest to produce new search results for the changed user'"'"'s interest.

Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system displays initial search results based on a query and enables selection by a user of an item within the search results. The system determines refined search results based on behavior of the user with respect to the initial search results. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for presenting revised search results based on user behavior while examining the results in substantially the same manners described above.
