  Search Patterns: Design for Discovery

    Search is among the most disruptive innovations of our time. It influences what we buy and where we go. It shapes how we learn and what we believe. This provocative and inspiring book explores design patterns that apply across the categories of web, e-commerce, enterprise, desktop, mobile, social, and real time search and discovery.

    Using colorful illustrations and examples, the authors bring modern information retrieval to life, covering such diverse topics as relevance ranking, faceted navigation, multi-touch, and mixed reality.

  Search is the Web's fun and wicked problem
  "It's odd that something so important is so hard to harness."

    Instead of taking time to understand the territory and chart an optimal course, we prefer the illusion of speed and simplicity. So we search.

    Search is a complex, adaptive system and an iterative, interactive experience. For designers, it's a wicked problem, and that's why it's so much fun.

    I'm convinced that information literacy is among the most important subjects we can teach our kids.

    At its best, search doesn't simply serve up answers. It helps us formulate the right questions.

    I'd argue that search is an unusually interdisciplinary challenge that requires collaboration across the established silos of design, engineering, and marketing.

    Autocomplete is an old pattern from the desktop that's found new life in Web and mobile search. Once relegated to the musty modules of "help" in desktop software, autocomplete is now part of our everyday experience. It's a great answer to the question: why wait for results? It saves time and typos by serving up suggested searches or destinations while we're still entering our query.

  Pogosticking - a set on Flickr
  "Repetitive bouncing between the SERP (search engine results page) and individual results is known as pogosticking.
  
  A little pogosticking means users are sampling results. That’s to be expected.
  
  But when it happens a lot, it’s not sampling; it’s a symptom."

  Thrashing - a set on Flickr
  "In thrashing, a design flaw resides in users’
  heads in the form of the anchoring bias.
  
  We set the anchor with our initial query, and
  then, despite poor results, we insist on small variations of the flawed search phrase rather than trying new approaches."
