“…Results above and below the focused item only display the title and the URL. We also considered the possibility of dynamically altering the content of the results, for example, by using representative key phrases instead of text captions [31], using caption texts of varying lengths [32], using different text processing schemes when constructing the content of the captions [33], or visualizing the occurrences of the query terms in the result document (e.g., [34,35]). These alternatives were ultimately discarded during the design process to avoid overloading the interface with new features in this initial stage of exploring the design space.…”

Designing an effective mobile search user interface is challenging, as interacting with the results is often complicated by the lack of available screen space and limited interaction methods. We present Mobile Findex, a mobile search user interface that uses automatically computed result clusters to provide the user with an overview of the result set. In addition, it utilizes a focus-pluscontext result list presentation combined with an intuitive browsing method to aid the user in the evaluation of results. A user study with 16 participants was carried out to evaluate Mobile Findex. Subjective evaluations show that Mobile Findex was clearly preferred by the participants over the traditional ranked result list in terms of ease of finding relevant results, suitability to tasks, and perceived efficiency. While the use of categories resulted in a lower rate of nonrelevant result selections and better precision in some tasks, an overall significant difference in search performance was not observed.

Studies of online search behaviour have found that searchers often face difficulties formulating queries and exploring the search results sets. These shortcomings may be especially problematic in digital libraries since library searchers employ a wide variety of information-seeking methods (with varying degrees of support ), and the corpus to be searched is often more complex than simple textual information. To address these problems, an interactive Web-based library search interface is present ed, which has been designed to support strategic retrieval behaviour of library searchers. T his system takes advantage of the rich metadata associated with academic documents and employs information visualization techniques to provide searchers with additional information-seeking tools. These tools are designed to facil itat e visual and interactive query refinement, search results exploration, and citation navigation. User evaluations illustrate the potential benefits of the design choices in comparison to a list-based digital library search interface. Acknowledgeme ntsFirstly, I would like t o sincerely t hank my supervisor , Dr. Orland Roeb er , for the support and guidance he offered me t hroughout my master 's program . This research would not have been possible without his insight ful advice and patient encouragement.

“…According to Turetken and Sharda [20], web documents can be visualized based on content (e.g., title and term frequency) [4,9,10,14,16,23], connectivity (e.g., number of incoming and outgoing links), and others (e.g., metadata like document size and the web domain) [4,10]. Our AspecTiles falls into the first category, as it visualizes the relevance of each retrieved web page with respect to each displayed aspect.…”

A diversified search result for an underspecified query generally contains web pages in which there are answers that are relevant to different aspects of the query. In order to help the user locate such relevant answers, we propose a simple extension to the standard Search Engine Result Page (SERP) interface, called AspecTiles. In addition to presenting a ranked list of URLs with their titles and snippets, AspecTiles visualizes the relevance degree of a document to each aspect by means of colored squares ("tiles"). To compare AspecTiles with the standard SERP interface in terms of usefulness, we conducted a user study involving 30 search tasks designed based on the TREC web diversity task topics as well as 32 participants. Our results show that AspecTiles has some advantages in terms of search performance, user behavior, and user satisfaction. First, AspecTiles enables the user to gather relevant information significantly more efficiently than the standard SERP interface for tasks where the user considers several different aspects of the query to be important at the same time (multi-aspect tasks). Second, As-pecTiles affects the user's information seeking behavior: with this interface, we observed significantly fewer query reformulations, shorter queries and deeper examinations of ranked lists in multiaspect tasks. Third, participants of our user study found Aspec-Tiles significantly more useful for finding relevant information and easy to use than the standard SERP interface. These results suggest that simple interfaces like AspecTiles can enhance the search performance and search experience of the user when their queries are underspecified.
