Rethinking Search Results from a UX PerspectiveBrian Frank
Post-secondary education websites have evolved a lot over the past decade. Search results pages have hardly changed. We’re long overdue to envision better ways to help users find what they’re looking for, faster and with fewer frustrations.
By looking at tested examples of user interfaces from ecommerce and other industries, we’ll explore ideas for radically rethinking the search experience on post-secondary websites. We’ll also discuss tips for using research to guide these decisions and avoid copying design patterns that aren’t suited to post-secondary information or user needs.
Tuning Up Site Search - IA Summit 2007Chris Farnum
Site search for portals, intranets, e-commerce, and e-service sites often fails to deliver the results that users expect. If your search system isn’t delivering on these high expectations, an important question to ask is what (if anything) has been done to configure and optimize your site search tool. Given the fact that many organizations have already made a big investment in purchasing a search engine, it makes sense to explore ways to tune up your search engine before sending it to the digital scrap heap.
If you are new to the area of site search and facing the challenge of how to rescue your site’s users from a frustrating search experience, this presentation will provide you with effective strategies, starting points and examples. It will also include opportunities for incorporating user testing and search analytics into the process of improving search. The strategies covered will range from the low-hanging fruit (taking better advantage of existing features) to the more robust solutions, which are possible when you have the option of customizing your search engine.

6. Juhised kasutajate intervjueerimiseks
• Intervjuu peaks toimuma tüüpilises kasutuskohas
• Väldi rangelt kindlaks määratud küsimusi
• Pööra esmalt tähelepanu lõppeesmärgile, seejärel tegevustele
• Ära tee kasutajast disainerit
• Ära aruta tehnoloogilisi lahendusi
• Väldi suunavaid küsimusi
• Küsi lugusid, näiteid ja ringkäiku kasutuskohas
• Suuna intervjuud vastavalt sellele, kuidas uued teemad esile kerkivad
• Oska lugeda “ridade vahelt”
(Cooper et al., 2007)
7. Küsimused eesmärkide kohta
• Eesmärgid — Mis sõltub õnnestunud päev? Millest halb
päev?
• Võimalused — Millised tegevused kulutavad praegu liigselt
Su aega?
• Prioriteedid — Mis on Sulle kõige olulisem?
• Informatsioon — Mis aitab Sul otsuseid langetada?
(Cooper et al., 2007)
8. Küsimused süsteemi kohta
• Funktsioon — Mis on peamised tegevused, mida Sa selle
tootega teed?
• Sagedus — Milliseid toote osasid Sa kõige enam kasutad?
• Eelistused — Mis on selle toote lemmikküljed Sinu jaoks? Mis
ajab Sind selle toote juures ärritab?
• Probleemid — Kuidas Sa probleemide korral lahenduse leiad?
• Kogemus — Milliseid klahvikombinatsioone Sa kasutad?
(Cooper et al., 2007)
9. Küsimused tööprotsesside kohta
• Protsess — Mida Sa tänase tööpäeva alguses esimesena
tegid? Mida järgmisena?
• Kordumised — Kui sageli Sa mingit tegevust teed? Millised
tegevused korduvad iga nädal või kuu, kuid mitte iga
päev?
• Erandid — Milline on tüüpiline tööpäev? Milline oleks
ootamatu sündmus?
(Cooper et al., 2007)
10. Küsimused suhtumise kohta
• Tulevikuplaanid — Mida Sa kujutad ennast tegemas viie
aasta pärast?
• Vältimine — Mida Sa eelistaksid mitte teha? Milliseid
tegevusi Sa edasi lükkad?
• Motivatsioon — Mida Sa naudid kõige enam oma töö (või
elustiili) juures? Millised tegevused Sa kõigepealt käsile
võtad?
(Cooper et al., 2007)
12. Vaatluse kavandamine
• Pane paika eesmärgid ja kogutava informatsiooni tüüp
• Pane paika aeg, koht ja inimesed, keda vaadeldakse
• Otsusta, kuidas vaatluse tulemusi talletada
(Cooper et al., 2007)
13. Vaatluse läbiviimine
• Tee kindlaks, et vaadeldavad on vaatluse toimumisest teadlikud
• Vii läbi katsevaatlus
• Ära häiri vaadeldavaid inimesi
• Tee märkmeid ja täpsusta vajadusel hiljem
• Kui võimalik, tee vaatluskohast foto
• Kirjuta üles esmamuljed kohe pärast vaatlust

disainiprobleeme
• Hinnata kavandatud funktsionaalsusi lähedase rakenduse
juures
(Brown, 2010)
19. Juhised
• Keskendu olulisele: ära võrdle korraga liiga palju süsteeme/
funktsionaalsusi/probleeme
• Koosta võrdluse kriteeriumid
• Vali võrdluse jaoks sobivad süsteemid
(Brown, 2010)

21. Online Pet Store Competitive Review
Version1 publishedJuly 31, 2010by Dan Brown(dan@eightshapes.com) 3 of 4
S r r u a
Pet owners think about what they’re feeding their pets, sometimes even more than
what they feed themselves. Displaying the ingredients right on the product page
provides the information shoppers need to decide what food is right for their pet.
Take-Aways
List ingredients as part of the product description.
If linked, incorporate“ingredients”as part of the label
for the link or tab.
Format as a list, rather than as a comma-delimited
paragraph.
Considerations
Make individual ingredients linked to more
information about it
O er product comparisons so users can see how
di erent foods compare in their ingredient lists
Petsmart.com Petco.com DrsFosterSmith.com Je ersPet.com

Details tab.
Formatting of list dense and
di cult to read.

makes it easy to read.
Requires scrolling down and
clicking tab.

r m r u a
Pet owners deliberate about some purchases for their
pet, like food and dietary supplements, but other
purchases (even large ones) may be more impulse, as
an expression of appreciation.The product page needs
to balance these two scenarios.
What works
Detailed product description
Speci c product name
Prominent calls to action
Clear breadcrumb for easy hierarchy navigation
What doesn’t
Small product image
Poor page layout
Scrolling local navigation
Take-aways
Focus page on product description, not chrome
Show large product images
Align page navigation with product comparisons

We compared 5 sites Across 20 criteria, including:
mm r S r r
What we did
Conductedcompetitive reviewof other prominent
pet supply web sites.
Our objective
Establishcommon practicesfor selling common pet
supplies on the web.
What worked
✓ Navigation categories based on pet type.
✓ Navigation categories with common supplies (like
food and toys).
✓ Recommendations based on previous purchases.
✓ Home pages that highlighted new products, specials
and the range of the catalog.
✓ Prominent calls to action taking users to the next
step in the shopping process.
What didn’t work
✗ Dense product pages: Squeezing all the information
onto a single page with tabbed panels hides
information that may help users make a purchase.
✗ One-size- ts-all product page: Users require
di erent kinds of information about di erent
product pages.
✗ Long lists of category links: User research shows
that some products are clearly more important than
others, and navigation should re ect that.
