“…Alhenshiri et al (2010a) investigated the effectiveness of visualisation in improving information gathering tasks by creating VSE (shown in Figure 1), a search engine incorporating visualisation. In their evaluation of VSE, users found greater satisfaction, plus faster and more efficient searches than conventional search engines.…”

Most conventional web search engines return a small fraction of results per display in textual format. Such renderings require the user to scroll over multiple pages to find relevant results. To enhance the user's ability to identify relevant documents among large sets of results, visualisation techniques are suggested. In addition, integrating the user in the process of query reformulation -by visualising the process itself -can lead to more relevant search results. This paper explores research concerned with visualising the processes of query reformulation and results rendering in web search, and provides research recommendations for further investigations of how best to integrate visualisation into web information retrieval.

“…Alhenshiri et al [1] showed that presenting features of Web pages such as the thumbnails and similarities (through clustering) helped users discover relevant documents among the search results more effectively. Moreover, visualization can further help with browsing Web pages.…”

“…The use of visual clustering in presenting Web search results can help users to decide on the relevancy of search results through the topic overview provided in result clusters. To reduce the effort needed by users to perceive relevant search results, visualization and clustering techniques have been investigated [1].…”

“…In Web information retrieval, clustering has been investigated in several prototypes such as in the work of Alhenshiri et al (2010a). Clustering has also been implemented in conventional search engines such as Clusty (www.clsuty.com), Gceel (www.Gceel.com), and Google (in their "see similar" feature and Google Wonder Wheel).…”

“…In addition, search results and task information (documents) can be viewed either visually or in HTML format (as a list of hits). The study in Alhenshiri et al (2010a) showed that users prefer to have both views during information gathering.…”

This paper presents a Visual Information Management System (VIMS) for the Web. In this prototype system, the task of Web information gathering was taken into consideration with respect to how users locate information for the task, organize task information, preserve and re-find task information, and compare information for effective reasoning and decision making. VIMS was designed and built based on recommendations from previous studies in a larger research. A user study was conducted to evaluate VIMS. The results of the study show promising indications of the improvements achieved in VIMS with respect to Web information gathering tasks.
