Abstract

TouchGraph Google Browser displays connectivity of similar pages around search results returned by Google. A major research question is: to what extent does this graph help improve user effectiveness during exploratory search? This paper reports on our user study with TouchGraph visualization. This study has interesting implications for designing user interfaces of search applications.
