WebScout is a system that creates a personal archive of Web pages seen by the user and a rich record of the user?s navigation, including various types of user and system generated annotations. In this paper we explore how this rich archive can be used to provide support for user navigation, in particular, for revisitation of pages within a navigation session. We describe the WebScout SessionNavigator feature that enhances the current browser functionality by providing both sequential and graph representation of the user navigation. It introduces the concept of a WebTrail which designates a sequence of navigation steps, started by a particular event, such as search, or explicit specification of a URL by typing into the address bar, or executing a link from a bookmark list. We present details of a user study that explores how users perceive and remember their navigation on the Web.
