对于网络搜索者来说，设计查询来满足他们的信息需求是很常见的。即使他们提供了良好的查询，用户也常常发现评估其网络搜索结果很困难。这些问题的根源包括缺乏对查询细化的支持，以及基于列表的 Web 搜索结果表示的静态特性。为了解决这些问题，我们开发了 WordBars，一种用于 Web 信息检索的交互式工具。 WordBar 直观地表示在初始查询返回的前 100 个文档代理中找到的术语的频率。该系统允许用户根据文档代理中所选术语的频率以交互方式对搜索结果进行重新排序，以及在查询中添加和删除术语，从而生成一组新的搜索结果。示例说明了在提供具体和模糊的初始查询时，WordBar 如何为查询细化和搜索结果探索提供宝贵的支持
It is common for Web searchers to have difficulties crafting queries to fulfil their information needs. Even when they provide a good query, users often find it challenging to evaluate the results of their Web searches. Sources of these problems include the lack of support for query refinement, and the static nature of the list-based representations of Web search results. To address these issues, we have developed WordBars, an interactive tool for Web information retrieval. WordBars visually represents the frequencies of the terms found in the first 100 document surrogates returned from the initial query. This system allows the users to interactively re-sort the search results based on the frequencies of the selected terms within the document surrogates, as well as to add and remove terms from the query, generating a new set of search results. Examples illustrate how WordBars can provide valuable support for query refinement and search results exploration, both when specific and vague initial queries are provided
