This study aims to investigate characteristics of most clicked documents of Naver's universal search service. In particular, this study analyzed characteristics of most clicked documents such as click ratio, collection distribution, and yearly distribution. Also, clicked documents were evaluated in terms of relevance, credibility, and currency. In conducting this study, query logs and click logs of unified search service were analyzed. The results of this study show that most clicks occurred in blog collection and average click concentration rate reached almost 50%. Also, the relevance and currency of most clicked documents were quite high, but credibility of these documents were on average level. The results of this study can be implemented to the portal's effective development of searching algorithm and interface.
