Abstract

Chapter 3 discussed the various theories associated with the information seeking process, and the subsequent chapters described interfaces for supporting query specification, results presentation, and query reformulation – the standard stages of the search process. This chapter describes interface ideas for other aspects of the search process: search starting points, search history, and interfaces that support the process as a whole. The final section discusses attempts to integrate search into the sensemaking process.
