Abstract

Finding relevant information is a major goal that motivates people to seek information using an IR system. Therefore, it is important to understand how people perceive the content of a system while interacting with it to solve specific problems. This article presents a preliminary study on users' perceptions of the content of a web-based IR system and the effects of tasks on their perceptions.
