Abstract :
Presenting search results as a list of hits can be ineffective in assisting users to find relevant documents and discover varied topics among search results. Visualization can assist users to find relevant documents and make the search interface more effective. This paper presents a Data Mountain Search Results Presentation Interface (DMSRPI). The interface is intended to improve the effectiveness in how users search the Web and find relevant information. A user study is yet to be conducted for evaluating the DMSRPI.
