Search behavior

“Search behavior” as a book category covers how people and systems find, filter, evaluate, and use information across contexts such as web search, libraries, databases, e-commerce, social media, and voice assistants. It includes theories and models of information seeking; cognitive strategies like querying, browsing, sensemaking, and exploratory search; and the roles of heuristics, biases, trust, and credibility. Works in this category also address the design and evaluation of search interfaces and algorithms, analysis of log data and user studies, personalization and recommender systems, and issues of accessibility, privacy, ethics, and the impact of AI. Domain applications may span health, education, legal, crisis, and workplace search. The category serves researchers and practitioners in information science, HCI/UX, data science, marketing/SEO, librarianship, and product management seeking to understand and improve how search works for real users.
