Trailblazer - Towards the Design of an Exploratory Search User Interface
M. Nitsche, and A. Nürnberger. Proceedings of the 6th Symposium on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval (HCIR), Cambridge, MA, USA, (October 2012)
Abstract
When conceptualizing user interfaces (UIs) to support ex-
ploratory search, designers need to take into account various
aspects. In contrast to ordinary information retrieval UIs, ex-
ploratory search user interfaces (XSIs) need to support users
in a more complex and often long term use scenario. An XSI
needs to provide a visually appealing overview over retrieved
search results, it should offer simple ways to interact with
the result set and offer easy ways of interaction to enhance
the user’s search experience by direct or indirect query re-
finement options. In this paper we identify the requirements
of a specific XSI concept, describe this XSI concept and its
features & present first results of a conducted usability study.
