Photos need to be of young girls in the 6-12 yo age range.

Conclusion • Facet match is high, and users can find what they need with current systems, however… • … a more detailed facet system would help users, to reflect their need expressed in briefs • Need coverage of more facets e.g. usage • Use of Keyword/Tag facet is key issue • Transcripts: use of generic descriptions to clarify queries • Conceptually difficult queries might require context for disambiguation
