The ScrollSearcher Technique: Using Scrollbars to Explore Search Results
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces the ScrollSearcher, an enhanced scrollbar that provides users with an overview of the results of text searches and allows users to explore the results using direct manipulation. The ScrollSearcher maintains the original presentation of documents and allows users to combine searches so dependencies between different searches can be studied.

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF STEEL MOMENT FRAME STRUCTURES USING THE GA-BASED REDUCED SEARCH SPACE (GA-RSS) TECHNIQUE
This paper proposes a GA-based reduced search space technique (GA-RSS) for the optimal design of steel moment frames. It tries to reduce the computation time by focusing the search around the boundaries of the constraints, using a ranking-based constraint handling to enhance the efficiency of the algorithm. This attempt to reduce the search space is due to the fact that in most optimization pro...
متن کاملOverview Scrollbar: A Scrollbar Showing an Entire Document as an Overview
A scrollbar is the most basic function of a graphical user interface. It is usually displayed on one side of an application window when a displayed document is larger than the window. However, the scrollbar is mostly presented as a simple bar without much information, and there is still plenty of room for improvement. In this paper, we propose an overview scrollbar that displays an overview of ...
متن کاملImproving Document Navigation Using Space-Filling Thumbnails
Space-Filling Thumbnails (SFT) is a new technique for document navigation that disposes of traditional scrollbars. SFT provides a matrix of thumbnail images, one for every page of the document, on a single screen. Pages can be selected for viewing by using a mouse. A prototype Space-Filling Thumbnails interface has been designed, developed and implemented. Six further document navigation system...
متن کاملRelative Scrollbars
This paper describes the concept of relative scrollbars. Simple scrollbars have been used for some time to distinguish a particular region in a linear data set. When two users of a cooperative editor are simultaneously working on the same file, each has a distinguished region corresponding to the part of the file which is displayed. Often what is most important is information on the position an...
متن کاملA Technique for Improving Web Mining using Enhanced Genetic Algorithm
World Wide Web is growing at a very fast pace and makes a lot of information available to the public. Search engines used conventional methods to retrieve information on the Web; however, the search results of these engines are still able to be refined and their accuracy is not high enough. One of the methods for web mining is evolutionary algorithms which search according to the user interests...
