Efficient search and retrieval of the required information is very critical for the internet users which is becoming a challenge day by day. In this paper we present an ontological model for efficient text-based search functionality. The goal is to let the user explore all available options to find and retrieve the required piece of information. The ontological model is presented for a university website as a case study and some usage scenarios are given.enText ProcessingWeb SearchWeb RetrievalDocument ProcessingOntologyArticle
