“…Contemporary to SWIRL, the "Towards Accessible Search Systems" workshop [20] was held over ten years ago in Switzerland and explicitly focused on one question: how to make search engines accessible to different types of users. The workshop was triggered by the PuppyIR research project that examined child-friendly IR systems from an international perspective [10,15]. The basis for this research was the article about Yahooligans published around 2000 [3].…”

Over 20 years ago, Information Retrieval (IR) researchers began their quest for sound IR systems for children. The path was not straightforward. Challenges posed by interface design, relevance determination, diverse contexts, ethics, and many more, were taken up and explored from different perspectives. Large projects such as Puppy-IR and the International Children's Digital Library gave this field a certain boost; still, there is neither a sound solution for children in the search area in 2021 nor a roadmap to get there. What is the reason for this? Does the field cry out for specific IR solutions developed on a small scale for very small sub-fields and specific target groups? Are there some significant unforeseen barriers that hinder researchers? What about obstacles natural to areas of study such as this one that require a multidisciplinary approach or involve protected populations? With this workshop, we want to bring together as many key experts as possible from research and industry who focus on IR for children to understand why, unlike other IR areas, this one has not flourished and look for the biggest challenges for the next 10 years. We are not only thinking of traditional researchers and designers, but also of those who develop and use IR systems for fields, such as in music, film, and education, as a way to push past this immobility and look at the problem from new, and perhaps more stimulating, perspectives.

“…Being familiar with search tools, however, does not equate to knowing how to use them well. Ever since the Puppy-IR project, which took place between 2009 and 2012, it has been a cradle of many follow-up research projects [6,11], researchers and practitioners have continued to move forward towards designing algorithms and interfaces that can support children's information-seeking practices [2,5,[7][8][9]12]. These solutions, however, often respond to the stereotypical behaviour and cognitive abilities of children at different ages, and not to children's specific needs and task objectives, which is a must when using computers in the classroom to support learning [18] and the focus of the quest described in this paper.…”

We report on the exploration we conducted to understand better children's needs for the design of Search Engine Result Pages (SERP) that can help them notice relevant resources when performing online inquiry tasks in a classroom context. We analyse children's interactions with traditional and emoji-enriched SERP and look for trends linking children's engagement with SERP and search success (based on experts' assessments). We also identify areas remaining to be interpreted and considered in future studies. On this mixed ground, we discuss the complexity of this design space and the need to bypass the one-size-fits-all approach in favor of adaptive SERP to cater to children's different and ever-evolving skills in searching and recognising useful results if we aim to support learning.

Neural Correlates of Realisation of Satisfaction in a Successful Search Process

In a search process, searchers review documents to gather information relevant to their information need (IN). During this process, searchers may experience the satisfaction of their IN, indicating they have gathered adequate relevant information to answer their need. This complex concept of satisfaction is the ultimate goal of search systems. Most studies in Information Retrieval (IR) have been attempted to understand how searchers' needs are satisfied based on behavioural observation. However, the psychophysiological manifestation during the moment of satisfaction still remains unclear. Here, we use functional Magnetic Resonance (fMRI) to investigate which brain regions are involved during the moment of satisfaction. Twenty-six participants participated in the experiment, designed to represent a search process while being scanned. Our result shows the human brain regions involved during the moment of satisfaction. These findings provide an important step in unravelling the concept of satisfaction in a search process.
