Developing Searcher
• Difficulty when facing multi-step search task
• Limited knowledge and use of search engine tools
• Unplanned, wandering search paths• Focused on search tasks• Perceive themselves as advanced
users
![Page 7: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Domain-Specific Searcher
• Expertise in specific content area of interest
• Expertise does not transfer to general searching ability
• Influenced by family
![Page 8: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Visual Searcher
• Prefer to look for information using images or video
• Verbally discuss videos and images• Widely influenced by friends, school,
and siblings• Broadly triggered to searching by
personal interests, school, music, events, and conversations
![Page 9: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Non-Motivated Searcher
• Minimally engaged during interview, limited verbal response
• Unfocused, distracted search behaviors
• Physically distant from the computer• Shortest possible, most efficient
search paths• Only triggered to search by school
![Page 10: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rule-Bound Searcher
• Searching is dictated by a set of rigid guidelines
• Display trust in their searching patterns• Double-check results• Rate themselves as less skilled at early
ages• Report outside influence when
describing how they learned to search; from school or by watching friends
![Page 11: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Power Searcher
• Confident, verbal• Use of search engine tools• Self-report advanced use at a young
age• More influenced by fathers than other
roles• Some report no frustrations with the
computer• Have programming abilities
![Page 12: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Differences from younger children:Natural language queriesHigher overall level of expertise
Power Searcher

Doubting Searcher
• Asking clarifying questions• Rate themselves as less skilled• Report social use of the computer as
a favorite activity• All report influence from school and
spend more time searching for school• Heavily female

Social Searcher
• Use of social networking or communication sites
• Instigating conversations with other people on and offline while using the computer
• Broadly triggered to search by images, music, conversations, personal interests, and school

Role Connections
![Page 17: How Adolescents Search the Web with Keyword Interfaces: A pilot study Elizabeth Foss*, Allison Druin*, Robin Brewer †, Phillip Lo*, Luis Sanchez †, Evan.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e1c5503460f94b0a6c6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusions
• Some search behaviors are more permanent, while others develop later
• Educators, parents and designers can use search roles as guide to promote search literacy– Teach skills of Power Searchers to all – Social searching for adolescents– Use domains as access points to
motivate search

Future Work
• Full study with 15 and 16-year-olds, 80 planned participants.
• How to truly challenge more expert searchers?
• Comparative analysis with data from younger children.
