Mental Models For Search Are Getting Firmer
Jakob Nielsen on elements of search :
Search is such a prominent part of the Web user experience that users have developed a firm mental model for how it's supposed to work. Users expect search to have three components:
- A box where they can type words
- A button labeled "search" that they click to run the search
- A list of top results that's linear, prioritized, and appears on a new page -- the search engine results page (SERP)
