ABSTRACT
Today's Web browsers provide limited support for rich information-seeking and information-sharing scenarios. A survey we conducted of 204 knowledge workers at a large technology company has revealed that a large proportion of users engage in searches that include collaborative activities. We present the results of the survey, and then review the implications of these findings for designing new Web search interfaces that provide tools for sharing.

Collaborative search revisited
CSCW '13: Proceedings of the 2013 conference on Computer supported cooperative workDespite recent innovations in technologies supporting collaborative web search [11, 13, 25, 34, 35, 37], the features of the primary tools for digital information seeking (web browsers and search engines) continue to reflect a presumption that search is ...
Co-located collaborative web search: understanding status quo practices
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsCo-located collaborative Web search is a surprisingly common activity, despite the fact that Web browsers and search engines are not designed to support collaboration. We report the findings of two studies (a diary study and an observational study) that ...
Influences on Query Reformulation in Collaborative Web Search
Past analysis has considered query reformulation primarily from the perspective of individual Web searches. Findings from a recent study suggest ways that collaboration during the search process influences how users generate new terms for query ...
