Presenting Search Results: Design, Visualization, and Evaluation

Abstract
A number of projects within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have addressed the visual presentation and evaluation of search results. Within the design space for this problem, we distinguish between the logical structure imposed on the result set and the interface by which the structured results are presented to the user. This interface comprises the operations provided for the manipulation of the set as well as its visual presentation. Any design, no matter how intuitively appealing, should be evaluated and the full array of issues for HCI testing come into play. In particular, researchers must decide on a base case against which to measure, whether to use high-level and/or low-level metrics and which tasks are appropriate for the evaluation.Citation
