Search engines have become efficient assistants for peo- ple to access information on the Web. Some researchers ar- gue that the prevalence of search engines is setting a tough journey for new pages to become popular even if they are of high quality. However, the evolution of popularity on the Web is not a closed feedback process, and the flexibility of query mechanism of search engines provides a free in- terface for users to search whatever they are interested in. We show that the diversity and drift of users' interests ac- tually alleviate the rich-get-richer phenomenon which the popularity-based ranking strategy of search engines tends to make worrisome. The results of our experiments on the query log of a real search engine also confirm our point of view.
