Abstract

This paper proposes novel interaction techniques for parallel search tasks. The system displays multiple search results, returned by a search engine, side-by-side for each search query. The system enables the user to rerank search results using a reranking algorithm based on vertical and horizontal propagation of his/her intention. A method of recommending operations for specific keywords is also proposed, supporting operations such as a shift to a parallel search with an alternate term, upgrading or downgrading results in terms of a specific viewpoint, and so on. Applications for the proposed system are also discussed.
