Exploring and Investigating: Supporting High-Level Search Activities
Gina Danielle Venolia, Meredith Ringel Morris, Dan Morris · 2007
Much work has been done to improve search as an isolated act, yet little has been done to understand search as it relates to higher-level patterns of behavior, or to develop user interfaces to support these patterns. In this paper, we analyze exploratory and investigative search processes that involve performing several related searches over a period of time. We then discuss requirements for interfaces to support these tasks, and describe three prototype systems.
