Keyword-driven search has become an important way for people to find content on the World Wide Web. However, it is estimated that more than 700 million adults (Warrilow, 2009) lack sufficient literacy in either English or another major language to use existing search interfaces. As a result, these users are to a large extent 'locked out' from the Web. We seek to address this challenge through the development of a user interface ('igwana') to navigate effectively through large sets of content by using pictograms in place of text. This paper describes some of our preliminary research and ideas and a proposed design for the igwana system.
