摘要
目的本研究的目的是深入了解用户的日常搜索策略,从而为提升跨多个应用程序的搜索体验提供信息。通过了解用户在搜索过程中如何浏览不同的应用程序并与之互动,本研究旨在为设计更加直观、用户友好的应用程序系统做出贡献。设计/方法/方法本研究采用混合方法分析用户在自然跨应用程序互动环境中的日常搜索策略。数据收集采用了 "关键事件技术"(Critical Incident Technique)和 "微时刻时间线"(Micro-Moment Time Line),共有 204 名参与者参与,以捕捉他们的实时搜索体验。研究结果研究结果揭示了一个综合框架,其中包括各种应用内搜索策略和应用间切换策略。确定了五种主要搜索策略:迭代查询、选择性结果采用、共享相关、推荐浏览和组织结果策略。这些策略反映了用户为满足其信息需求而使用应用程序的细微方式。原创性/价值这项研究是在自然的跨应用程序交互环境中系统识别和分类日常搜索策略的一项开创性工作。它结合了应用程序内和应用程序间的策略,提供了用户行为的整体视角,为该领域做出了原创性贡献。这些发现对应用程序开发人员和设计人员意义重大,因为他们可以利用这些知识来改进应用程序功能和用户手册,最终提升用户的整体搜索体验。
Unlocking the secrets of daily app switching: a comprehensive guide to mastering both intra-app and inter-app search strategies
PurposeThe purpose of this research is to provide insights into the daily search strategies of users, which can inform the enhancement of search experiences across multiple applications. By understanding how users navigate and interact with different apps during their search processes, the study seeks to contribute to the design of more intuitive and user-friendly app systems.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a mixed-methods approach to analyze users' daily search strategies in a natural cross-app interactive environment. Data collection was conducted using the Critical Incident Technique and the Micro-Moment Time Line, involving 204 participants to capture their real-time search experiences. Open coding techniques were utilized to categorize sequential search tactics, while the PrefixSpan algorithm was applied to identify patterns in frequently applied search strategies.FindingsThe study findings unveil a comprehensive framework that includes a variety of intra-app search tactics and inter-app switching tactics. Five predominant search strategies were identified: Iterative querying, Selective results adoption, Share-related, Recommended browsing, and Organizational results strategies. These strategies reflect the nuanced ways in which users engage with apps to fulfill their information needs.Originality/valueThis research represents a pioneering effort in systematically identifying and categorizing daily search strategies within a natural cross-app interaction context. It offers original contributions to the field by combining intra-app and inter-app tactics, providing a holistic view of user behavior. The implications of these findings are significant for app developers and designers, as they can leverage this knowledge to improve app functionality and user manuals, ultimately enhancing the overall search experience for users.
