This study examines 16 real users' use of an ontology as a search tool. The users' queries constructed with the help of a Concept-based Information Retrieval Interface (CIRI) were compared to queries created independently based on the same search task description. Also the effectiveness of the CIRI queries was compared to the users' unaided queries. The simulated search task method was used to make the searching situations as close to real as possible. Due to CIRI's query expansion feature the number of search terms was remarkably higher in ontology queries than in Direct interface queries. The search results were evaluated with generalised precision and generalised relative recall as well as precision based on personal assessments. The Direct interface queries performed better in all methods of comparison.
