Abstract
When searching on the web, users often reformulate their queries after viewing the results and viewing some of the pages. After one or two reformulations the user may im-plicitly realize patterns and relationships between the mul-tiple search results. We believe that these patterns can be used to identify interesting results. We have developed the prototype Search Engine Similarity (SES) tool which ex-plicitly visualizes the similarity between multiple searches. In this paper we describe an experiment to determine whether explicitly visualizing the relationships between mul-tiple searches will let users browse more effectively. Our results show that explicit difference visualizations can en-hance the search process for some tasks. Figure 1: A model of the Information Seeking Process
