Example text

Among several task characteristics recognized by Kim and Soergel (2005), the tasks that require at least some degree of sense-making often involve: (1) new situations or problems; (2) complex, less structured situations or problems; (3) a new domain; and (4) an unclear information need. There is an overlap between such situations and the definition of exploratory search offered in Chapter 2. Exploratory searchers are constantly engaged in sense-making activities as they move through the information space.

These movements are interrupted when a gap is encountered that requires information to be bridged. Sense-making is an individual process of construction, not a process of utilizing existing information. Exploratory searches typically involve a prolonged engagement in which individuals iteratively look up and learn new concepts and facts. The knowledge acquisition causes the searcher to dynamically change and refine their information goals, and to ask more informed questions that probe deeper into the problem and the information space.

Searchers’ understanding of their information need is enhanced as they encounter additional information during a search. Campbell (2000) suggested that this enhancement occurs to support or deny beliefs in various aspects of the need. The searcher revises their beliefs in what information is relevant until it reaches an end point of redundancy. Redundancy may arise because the information need has been satisfied, or it no longer has perceived importance to the searcher. 2 shows an example of an evolving, berrypicking search.
