How query cost affects search behavior
2013
Proceedings of the 36th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '13
We investigate how the cost associated with querying in the context of information retrieval affects how users interact with a search system. Microeconomic theory is used to generate the cost-interaction hypothesis that states as the cost of querying increases, users will pose fewer queries and examine more documents per query.
