“…For the advanced search system, the only reported drawback indicated by the users was increased time required to effectively use the complex system due to lack of prior familiarity. These general observations provided by the users further support the observed hypothesis and confirms the inadequacy of existing traditional web search engines to meet the user's multifaceted information needs [3], [30], [52].…”

“…A cognitively incompatible SUI leads to lower user engagement and limits the exploration of the information. As a result, the previous exploratory search systems achieve at most the "B" grade in overall usability results [11], [30]. A consistent and aesthetically pleasing SUI increases the users focused attention, perceived usability, reward, and exploratory activities (H5 & H6).…”

“…At present, discovery search tasks are complex, and web surfing is beyond simply finding an answer to a specific question [4]. In particular, a discovery search initiates when a user wants to discover a domain, acquire/expand knowledge, or learn new topics [30]. Most recent literature has made an effort to investigate specific parameters of such tasks using easily measurable user behavior [31].…”

“…The existing commercial web search engines such as Google, Yahoo 2 , and Bing 3 , acknowledge the increasing information needs and to provide the first-aid, often blend media-specific search results in the first page of the web search results [11], [30]. However, the linear organization and disjoint assembly of the multimedia search results hinder the information exploration [5].…”

The recent advancements in the web allow users to generate multimedia content. It may cause an immense multimedia information proliferation and demands innovative tools to discover multimedia content. The researchers have devised numerous state-of-the-art approaches; however, analysis to confirm the efficacy has little emphasis. This study investigates users' complex multimedia informationseeking behavior over state-of-the-art web search systems to unveil the user's information-seeking issues. Our research employs between-subjects study and post hoc analysis strategies to analyze participants' seeking characteristics. The study design adopted statistical hypothesis testing to consolidate previous user behavioral studies, confirm existing studies, and present recommended practices for future general-purpose web search engines. The participants were assigned Google and an advanced discovery search system using the same multimedia dataset to ensure the obtained results' credibility. The primary behavioral parameters include search efforts, multimedia content exploration, search user interface (SUI), information management and presentation, and user cognition. This study uncovers several inadequacies of the search engines in meeting users' complex discovery needs, including 29.6% less user engagement, 43% system and searching dissatisfaction, and 32% less knowledge acquisition with 63.9% increased clicking effort on traditional search engines. The results confirmed previous user studies and suggest novel research recommendations statistically significant in multimedia information exploration-related endeavors.
