软件开发人员经常在Web上搜索源代码来解决问题。他们正确评估源代码搜索引擎返回的匹配的能力是搜索成功的关键，反过来也是项目成功的关键。我们进行了一个实验室实验，以了解在评估过程中使用的信息种类及其有用性。我们发现，最常用的信息并不被认为是最有用的信息。我们还确定了三种模式之间的关系的信息使用频率，选择最佳匹配的可能性，以及完成任务的时间。
Software developers frequently search for source code on the Web to solve problems. Their ability to correctly evaluate the matches returned by a source code search engine is key to the success of the search, and in turn the project. We conducted a laboratory experiment to gain understanding on the kinds of information used and their usefulness during the evaluation process. We found that the most used information was not perceived as the most useful information. We also identified three patterns for relationships among the frequency of information use, the likelihood of selecting the best match, and the time to complete a task.
