Abstract

While adhoc-search is well supported by current web search engines like Google, more complex information seeking processes like exploratory searches often lack in support for integrated browsing, easy change of perspective on the same information and a support for Personal Information Management (PIM). However, these aspects are crucial when working with retrieved results in order to put them into context. In this paper we present a concept that enhances classic web search by different user interface elements and personalization components in order to improve user experience (UX) while users conduct complex search tasks. The concept has been prototypically implemented as a rich internet application to demonstrate its advantages towards ordinary web search user interfaces and has been evaluated by conducting an expert design review.
