The association mining, collaborative filtering and content filtering are the three widely employed methods for strong impact using search engines.  The content based filtering system is one in which the recommendation to the buyers are provided based on the items they have searched for. The items are generally in the form of text, comprising e-mail and web pages. This method analyse the similarities between the items to bring out the best recommendation.

   The collaborative filtering involves the analysis of the opinions in which the recommendation is provided based on the ratings provided by the users. The quality of the item cannot be analysed in the content based filtering. But the collaborative filtering can expose the quality of the item. The collaborative filtering is employed in two ways namely, the user based collaborative filtering and item based collaborative filtering.

    The next process to be performed is association rule mining in which association and correlation relationship is mined for the best outcome. The exemplar for the association rule mining would be market basket in which the set of data are analysed to obtain the buying pattern of the user. The two measures namely, support and confidence is used for analysis.
