Abstract

Ever since the advent of on-line computer systems, the development of the user interface has been a key issue in research and applications. The main function of the user interface is to mediate between the system operator and the computer programs that run the information systems.The nature of the interface required by information systems and the functions with which it must provide the user has been studied. It can be said that there are certain rules to be adhered to in the design of any information system, and that there are certain rules characteristic of specific information systems only. (MicrosoftG, 1995)(Galitz, 1994) (MicrosoftU, 1995) (Shneiderman, 1998).The aim of this article is to define the user interface characteristic of text retrieval systems, which generally differ in nature from other information systems.
