Exploratory Search
• Motivated by complex information problems
• Often involves uncertainty, ambiguity, discovery, learning
• May be exhaustive
• May extend over hours, days, months
(Marchionini 2006; White 2009; White, Kules, et al. 2006)

Impact and Trends
• Simplicity is on the wane
• More combinations – lists + visualization
• Rich interactions are becoming the norm
• Beyond the query/response– Overviews, histories, domain-specific support
