研究了任务类型对使用不受搜索领域限制的搜索引擎进行万维网搜索的影响。9名心理学专业的研究生和本科生(1女8男，年龄25.0岁，SD=2.1)被试。他们在只有一个答案的封闭任务上操纵搜索引擎的表现，与在有几个可能答案的开放任务上的表现进行了比较。分析表明，封闭任务的动作数(M=91)大于开放任务的动作数(M=46.1)。关键字的选择(平均占关闭任务所有操作的7.9%，打开任务的16.7%)和按下浏览器的后退按钮(平均占关闭任务所有操作的40.3%，打开任务的29.6%)等行为也是不同的。另一方面，选择超链接、按下主页按钮和浏览的页数等行为对于这两个任务来说都是相似的。学生在不受信息源限制的情况下进行信息搜索时，搜索行为受任务类型的影响。
The influences of task type on search of the World Wide Web using search engines without limitation of search domain were investigated. 9 graduate and undergraduate students studying psychology (1 woman and 8 men, M age = 25.0 yr., SD = 2.1) participated. Their performance to manipulate the search engines on a closed task with only one answer were compared with their performance on an open task with several possible answers. Analysis showed that the number of actions was larger for the closed task (M = 91) than for the open task (M = 46.1). Behaviors such as selection of keywords (averages were 7.9% of all actions for the closed task and 16.7% for the open task) and pressing of the browser's back button (averages were 40.3% of all actions for the closed task and 29.6% for the open task) were also different. On the other hand, behaviors such as selection of hyperlinks, pressing of the home button, and number of browsed pages were similar for both tasks. Search behaviors were influenced by task type when the students searched for information without limitation placed on the information sources.
