Meet the Authors Series: Search Interface Design and Evaluation

In this webinar we will present an overview of our comprehensive review of the design and evaluation of search user interfaces in the last decade. Drawing on studies in information science, information retrieval (IR), and human-computer interaction (HCI) and cognate fields, we have had an enhanced understanding of users’ search interactions, including cognitive and behavioral mechanisms in the search process and the implementation of new technologies, such as automatic speech recognition, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), to support informational activities and sensemaking.
