Supporting information retrieval on mobile devices

ABSTRACT

We present a search interface that has been designed for the use on mobile devices in order to provide improved navigation and visualization of result sets. Besides automatic context switching, the interfaces provide methods to store prior search results in a structured way and to annotate documents with respect to user interests and the query. These methods enable a user to retrieve documents with fewer interactions and less data traffic, which is especially important for mobile devices.
