Abstract

Formulating proper keywords and evaluating search results are common difficulties in exploratory information seeking. Reusing and refining others' successful searches are pragmatic directions to tackle these difficulties. In this paper, we present a novel epistemology-based social search solution, where search epistemologies are effectively shared, reused, and refined by others with the same or similar search interests through novel user interfaces. We have developed a prototype system Baijia and experimental results show that an epistemology-based social search system outperforms a conventional search engine in supporting exploratory information seeking.
