WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: September 17, 2002 Demonstration: Enhanced Thumbnails for Web Search -- "This demo is a re-creation of the user tests conducted by the research staff, comparing Enhanced Thumbnails to more traditional methods of displaying search results. Study participants were given a set of information-finding tasks to be done using a search engine. Their search results were displayed using text, plain thumbnails, and Enhanced Thumbnails." (Comments: Thanks Kevin D. White.)

Wow, that is really cool. In every case I found the page with the info I needed right away. It kind of expands on the idea of the way people typically search for something - you go and look for clues on the page that you got to the right place. You don't carefully read the content of every destination, you just scan until you are satisfied that further reading is warranted. Posted by: Lydia on September 19, 2002 12:29 PM
You say "Wow" and so do I but for the exact opposite reason. Maybe it's because I've become so used to viewing Google's results that I found the Enhanced Thumbnail results completely baffling. I'm definitely *not* in that group that found things faster. Posted by: boysen on September 19, 2002 02:16 PM
