Abstract

In this paper we describe the development of a user interface for a mobile search application. The interface is connected to an information retrieval system in order to allow mobile searching and personal information organization by using clustering algorithms. By making use of novel interaction techniques like multi-touch, users are supported in refining their information need. In addition users are provided with a tag cloud of past queries in order to offer a personalized initialization of the search process. We have conducted several user studies during the entire development process. In order to follow a formative evaluation process also a final usability test was conducted, which reveals a high usability of the concept.
