Investigating the querying and browsing behavior of advanced search engine users
2007
Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '07
Preserved Fulltext
The results show that there are marked differences in the queries, result clicks, post-query browsing, and search success of users we classify as advanced (based on their use of query operators), relative ...
In this paper we study the interaction logs of advanced search engine users (and those not so advanced) to better understand how these user groups search. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors are grateful to Susan Dumais for her thoughtful and constructive comments on a draft of this paper. ...

Consequently, it is important to understand the emerging information access behavior of mobile Internet (MI) users especially in relation to their use of mobile handsets for information browsing and query-based ...
We consider a range of factors including whether there are key differences between browsing and search behavior on the MI compared to the Web. ...
Query-Level Analysis So far we have compared search and browsing behavior on the mobile Web from a relatively high level of abstraction, focusing on sessions and users, search engines and devices. ...
