Dataset for the paper "Googling for Software Development: What Developers Search For and What They Find?", MSR 2021.

This is the dataset for the paper "Googling for Software Development: What Developers Search For and What They Find?" submitted to the Mining Software Repositories Conference (MSR), 2021.

This dataset has three data:

• Search queries: contains the search queries to compute RQ1, RQ2, RQ3, and RQ4.
• Search results RQ5: contains the search results to compute RQ5 (files starting with "search-results-rq5").
• Search results RQ6: contains the search results to compute RQ6 (files starting with "search-results-rq6").

The dataset "Search results RQ6" has 8 columns: 

1. same_top10: whether the top 10 links are exactly the same (0 or 1)
2. same_top1: whether the top 1 links are exactly the same (0 or 1)
3. inter_ratio_top5: the intersection of links in the top 5
4. inter_ratio_top10: the intersection of links in the top 10
5. original_query: the original queries
6. original_search_resuls: the top 10 links returned for the original queries
7. modified_query: the modified queries
8. modified_search_resuls: the top 10 links returned for the modified queries

Example (word swap, context)

• Original query: "java string replaceall case insensitive"
• Modified query: "string replaceall case insensitive java"
• Single row example: "0","1.0","0.8","0.9","java string replaceall case insensitive","['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5054995/how-to-replace-case-insensitive-literal-substrings-in-java', ...]","string replaceall case insensitive java","['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5054995/how-to-replace-case-insensitive-literal-substrings-in-java', ...]"
