本研究旨在调查用户如何首次搜索网络信息（信息查找）以及如何在后续工作中定位先前找到的结果（信息重新查找）。它构建了一个两阶段的实验，并采用各种方法来比较用户在不同类型搜索任务上的搜索性能。初步结果显示，研究参与者在重新查找阶段与搜索工具产生了更多的互动。虽然参与者在重新寻找阶段花费的时间比寻找阶段要少，但差异并不显着。值得注意的是，在某些情况下，重新查找的搜索性能甚至低于查找的搜索性能。这表明重新查找可能并不适用于所有搜索任务。需要进一步研究来调查用户在什么情况下最好发起新的搜索，而不是在重新查找阶段重复以前的搜索。
This study is to investigate how users search for web information for the first time (information finding) and locate previously found results on a subsequent effort (information re-finding). It constructs a two-staged experiment and employs various methods to compare users' search performance on different types of search tasks. The preliminary results show that participants in the study produced more interactions with search tools in the re-finding stage. Though the participants spent less time in the re-finding than that in the finding stage, the difference was not significant. It is worth noting that in some cases the search performance of re-finding was even lower than that of finding. This reveals that re-finding may not work effectively for all search tasks. Further research is needed to investigate on what circumstances users had better initiate new searches rather than repeat previous searches in the re-finding stage.
