Maybe some variation in UI appearance would help. P o s t - s y s t e m : P3_C Searcher: P3 Condition: C Q1: 4 Q2: 4 Q3: 4 Comments: 1. I difficulty a) with the sensitivity and accuracy of the scroll bar cursor b) switching from short to long format, I wanted to click on "select" instead of going up to "long", expecting that the short record would blow up into a long record in a separate window. 2. I wished for more options ("and not") in the boolean section. P o s t - s y s t e m : P3_Z Searcher: P3 Condition: Z Q1: 5 Q2: 5 Q3: 4 Comments: 1. I would have liked to have had Boolean searching options and/ or ways to require that a word be absent or present. 2. I didn't like being restricted to 24 results. 3.

P o s t - s y s t e m : P6_Z Searcher: P6 Condition: Z Q1: 5 Q2: 5 Q3: 4 Comments: 1) It would be helpful to have a terminology such as thesaurus -- this would assure proper use of terms or widen the desire of the term (?) 2) Also the time was insufficient to perform searches 3) queries were formulated too broadly 4) But I liked the visual clarity of the system -- the space where I was able to distinguish clearly the term. P o s t - s y s t e m : P6_C Searcher: P6 Condition: C Q1: 5 Q2: 5 Q3: 5 Comments: 1) very transparent system 2) I liked the option "more like selected" since it formulates queries for me. 3) I liked combination of search options 4) visually it wasn't "messy", I was able to remain focussed.
