Abstract

This paper presents Visual Data Mountains (VDMs), a tool intended to assist users to find relevant documents and discover varied topics among Web search results. The interface is also intended to improve how users re-find search results. A small-scale pilot study was conducted to evaluate the enjoyment of VDMs and its perceived effectiveness for finding and re-finding tasks on the Web.
