Abstract

Today's search engines allow users to discover relevant information in different types of modalities or media, e.g., web pages, text documents, images, or videos. It is, however, a challenging task to present mixed-modality result lists in an effective and easy-to-skim form. The two most commonly used approaches are to present the modalities side-by-side, each in a separate column of the result page; or to separate the modalities into multiple tabs. However, the field lacks a structured investigation on how the column or tab layout influence the users' perception and usage of multimodal resources in an academic search task. In this paper, we present a user study (N=50) where the participants were asked to accomplish a search task for a fictive computer science seminar at the university. We evaluate the influence of the different layouts on (1) user search behavior (e.g., time until first resource is saved) and (2) the relevance of the selected resources for the task at hand. Finally, we discuss the results and possible implications for the design of multimodal search result presentation.
