From Keyword Search to Exploration: Designing Future Search Interfaces for the Web
@article{Wilson2010FromKS, title={From Keyword Search to Exploration: Designing Future Search Interfaces for the Web}, author={Max L. Wilson and Bill Kules and M. C. Schraefel and Ben Shneiderman}, journal={Found. Trends Web Sci.}, year={2010}, volume={2}, pages={1-97} }
This monograph is directed at researchers and developers who are designing the next generation of web search user interfaces, by focusing on the techniques and visualizations that allow users to interact with and have control over their findings. Search is one of the keys to the Web's success. The elegant way in which search results are returned has been well researched and is usually remarkably effective. However, the body of work produced by decades of research into information retrieval…

The Effects of Adding Search Functionality to Interactive Visualizations on the Web
- Computer ScienceCHI
- 2018
It is found that the presence of text-based search influences people's information-seeking goals, search can alter the data that people explore and how they engage with it, and the effects are amplified in visualizations where people are familiar with the underlying dataset.
Designing Multistage Search Systems to Support the Information Seeking Process
- Computer ScienceHuman–Computer Interaction Series
- 2020
This chapter outlines a framework for complex task support, which explicitly connects the temporal development of complex tasks with different levels of support by SUI features and provides recommendations for designing more holistic SUIs which potentially evolve along with a user’s information seeking process.
Multiple perspective interactive search: a paradigm for exploratory search and information retrieval on the web
- Computer ScienceMultimedia Tools and Applications
- 2011
This article presents a novel presentation-interaction paradigm for exploratory web search which allows simultaneous and semantically correlated presentation of query results from different semantic perspectives and demonstrates the efficacy of this approach in query-retrieval scenarios involving complex information goals.
Information Visualization for Interactive Information Retrieval
- Computer ScienceCHIIR

A hybrid approach that combines the coherent content of text with the organized structure of graphs should be taken to better support information finding and sense making in exploratory search.
Study of result presentation and interaction for aggregated search
- Computer ScienceSIGF
- 2012
Results from the study suggested that the effect of the source-orientation was a significant factor in an aggregated search scenario, hence adding another dimension to the relevance space within the aggregatedsearch scenario.
The effect of search engine interface design on user perception
- Computer Science
- 2014
Which of the three well know search engines is the most popular (based on its interface), as well as to find a link between the search engines’ interface design and the user’s choices is found.
A Study on User-Controllable Social Exploratory Search
- Computer ScienceIUI
- 2018
The interface incorporates control features that allow the user to express information needs by selecting keywords and to express preferences for incorporating social wisdom based on tag matching and user similarity in a user-controlled way consistent with the nature of exploratory search.
Interaction and User Interfaces

This chapter focuses on the users of MLIR/CLIR systems and highlights the issues involved in developing user interfaces, including what form of multilingual search assistance can help users and how to design an interface to support multilingual information access.
Interactive Data Visualization for Product Search
- Computer ScienceDCPD@CHItaly
- 2017
This research aims to analyze approaches for supporting the user in expressing a search query based on vague motives and ideas and in evaluating the search results in order to find a suitable search result.
