Abstract

Query formulation interface remained unchanged over the years. It is still mainly an input box for the user to enter the search query and a search button to initiate the search process. This paper explores and implements an interface design that incorporates dynamic and interactive properties during query formulation. It attempts to match user's search strategies rather than force users to accommodate to the current search interface. It proposes interaction elements to support functionalities that assists user during query formulation. These functionalities include domain filter suggestion, query suggestion, and spelling correction functions.
