In this work, we report re finding and newfinding behaviours of users in an educational search context and compare results with the findings in the literature for general purpose web search. Our analysis shows that re finding pattern of students differs from web search drastically as only (26\ of all queries indicate re finding behaviour compared to (40\ in Web.
