• Search In The Year 2010: Part Two

  September 7, 2007 Several weeks ago (seemingly years) Just Behave featured Part One of the summarized interviews with my personal dream team of search usability. In that installment, we looked at their thoughts on what the look of the search results page would be, how the algorithms would get smarter, including personalization, more functionality in the search results, and how much of that functionality might be exposed to the user, letting them get the hands on the knobs and levers to customize their search experience. Today, I’ll share the second half of those interviews, looking at mobile, what advertising might look like on the search results page, will banner blindness rear it’s head on the SERP, how our interactions might change and some bold predictions for the future.

• Search In The Year 2010

  August 10, 2007 If I ever had to build a search engine, or more precisely, the interface of a search engine, this would be the team I would want to bring together. When I came up with the idea of looking forward three years and speculating on what the search results page may look like in 2010, these are the names that immediately came to mind. This would be the dream team for designing the new search interface. So it was with a great deal of anticipation that I threw in front of them the same question: what will the search results page look like in 2010? Here, aggregated and condensed, are their answers. I’ve broken them into themes that consistently came out in these interviews. We covered a lot of ground, so we’ll cover the first half this week, and the next column will run on September 7th.
