Developing interactive lifelog retrieval systems is a growing research area. There are many international competitions for lifelog retrieval that encourage researchers to build effective systems that can address the multimodal retrieval challenge of lifelogs. The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) was first organised in 2018 and is currently the only interactive benchmarking evaluation for lifelog retrieval systems. Participating systems should have an accurate search engine and a user-friendly interface that can help users to retrieve relevant content. In this paper, we upgrade our previous MyScéal, which was the top performing system in LSC'20 and LSC'21, and present E-MyScéal for LSC'22, which includes a completely different search engine. Instead of using visual concepts for retrieval such as MyScéal, the new E-MyScéal employs an embedding technique that facilitates novice users who are not familiar with the concepts. Our experiments show that the new search engine can find relevant images in the first place in the ranked list, four a quarter of the LSC'21 queries (26%) by using just the first hint from the textual information need. Regarding the user interface, we still keep the simple non-faceted design as in the previous version but improve the event view browsing in order to better support novice users.
