Abstract
In the TREC 2001 Interactive Track six research teams carried out observational studies which increased the realism of the searching by allowing the use of data and search systems/tools publicly accessible via the Internet. To the extent possible, searchers were allowed to choose tasks and systems/tools for accomplishing those tasks. At the same time, the studies for TREC 2001 were designed to maximize the likelihood that groups would find in their observations the germ of a hypothesis they could test for TREC 2002. This suggested that there be restrictions ¿ some across all sites, some only within a given site ¿ to make it more likely that patterns would emerge. The restrictions were formalized in two sorts of guidelines: one set for all sites and another set that applied only within a site.Citation
