Abstract

We describe a system for representing search results as an interactive graph, in contrast to the common static representation as an ordered list. The search terms are represented as Key-Nodes, and the results are represented as connected Record-Nodes. The user can then explore tradeoffs by assigning different importance values to Key-Nodes. We suggest algorithms for placement of Record-Nodes in the graph to ensure both smooth change of the representation in response to changes in user preferences, and clustering of results. The work was implemented using Haskell and a client-side Web interface.
