Search User Interfaces (SUIs) represent the gateway between people who
have a task to complete, and the repositories of information and data
stored around the world. Not surprisingly, therefore, there are many
communities who have a vested interest in the way SUIs are designed.
There are people who study how humans search for information, and people
who study how humans use computers. There are people who study good
user interface design, and people who design aesthetically pleasing user
interfaces. There are also people who curate and manage valuable
information resources, and people who design effective algorithms to
retrieve results from them. While it would be easy for one community to
reject another for their limited ability to design a good SUI, the truth
is that they all can, and they all have made valuable contributions.
Fundamentally, therefore, we must accept that designing a great SUI
means leveraging the knowledge and skills from all of these communities.
The aim of this book is to at least acknowledge, if not integrate, all
of these perspectives to bring the reader into a multidisciplinary
mindset for how we should think about SUI design. Further, this book
aims to provide the reader with a framework for thinking about how
different innovations each contribute to the overall design of a SUI.
With this framework and a multidisciplinary perspective in hand, the
book then continues by reviewing: early, successful, established, and
experimental concepts for SUI design. The book then concludes by
discussing how we can analyse and evaluate the on-going developments in
SUI design, as this multidisciplinary area of research moves forwards.
Finally, in reviewing these many SUIs and SUI features, the book
finishes by extracting a series of 20 SUI design recommendations that
are listed in the conclusions. Table of Contents: Introduction /
