  1. Directions in Web Search Interfaces: Enhancing Visualization and Interaction to Support Exploratory Search Bill Kules 2010 SLIS Symposium - Bridging the Spectrum January 29, 2010

  2. Outline • What is exploratory search? • Layered model of search • Examples • Impact and trends

  3. Exploratory Search • Motivated by complex information problems • Often involves uncertainty, ambiguity, discovery, learning • May be exhaustive • May extend over hours, days, months (Marchionini 2006; White 2009; White, Kules, et al. 2006)

  4. Layered model of search (Järvelin and Ingwersen, 2004)

  5. Examples • Faceted search • Social techniques • Visualization techniques

  6. Faceted Search • National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations - http://thumper.vtls.com:6080/visualizer/ • Relation Browser - http://ils.unc.edu/relationbrowser/ • mSpace - http://mspace.fm/

  14. Impact and Trends • Simplicity is on the wane • More combinations – lists + visualization • Rich interactions are becoming the norm • Beyond the query/response • Overviews, histories, domain-specific support
