Perfectionner ses interfaces de recherche

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 13 septembre 2010

La recherche d'information est une étape clé de notre utilisation d'internet. Elle est présente partout si bien que nous ne nous en apercevons même plus. Pourtant de la qualité des outils de recherche peut dépendre le succès d'un site.

Search Patterns nous invite à réfléchir sur les différentes solutions qui peuvent être misent en oeuvre pour améliorer la recherche sur un site web qu'il s'agisse d'un site d'information, d'un portail institution ou d'un site d'e-commerce.
Chaque type de recherche est présenté dans son contexte d'utilisation et analysé.
Ce livre est à recommander à tout designer ou développeur web qui doit implémenter une interface de recherche.

Great Book - Poor Production

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 17 mai 2010

Achat vérifié

As a first attempt on virtually unknown waters (search, despite decades of research remains such) it would be hard to imagine a more thought provoking book. The other reviews you will see discuss that in detail and I won't repeat that here.

However, this book desperately needed a production editor.

It is hard to find a "figure" that occurs on the page (or facing page) that makes reference to it and there are 27 figures in Chapter 1, 21 figures in Chapter 2, 39 figures in Chapter 3, 68 figures in Chapter 4, 32 figures in Chapter 5, and 11 figures in Chapter 6. (If you are keeping count, that is 198 figures.) It isn't all that hard to decide which figure is being discussed but a small amount of attention to detail would make the book much more readable.

The authors also omit the URLs of the web pages, which make up most of the figures, which is ok for Amazon and Google, but for lesser known websites its annoying.

With the usual size of an O'Reilly book the web pages are often too small to make out the point the text is trying to convey. Either use fewer - larger images or add some bulk to the book. Annotating the images, which is done in a few cases, would be helpful as well.

References to the professional research literature that has explored some of the issues the authors raise would be useful as well.

I would use this book, supplemented with the missing research literature, for a class on searching or information retrieval in general.

Search is becoming the universal solvent

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 17 février 2010

Achat vérifié

Peter Morville's book Ambient Findability is one of the best books on search in its personal and social context, and probably my favourite non-technical O'Reilly book. Once you have read Ambient Findability this is a good follow-up.

Search is becoming a universal solvent in software and media - it has transformed publishing and advertising and is poised to transform business intelligence, enterprise content management, data integration ... and when combined with augmented realities, geolocation and social networks will change how we live with each other. It is a big topic.

There are many things to like about this book: it is visually strong and makes good use of illustrations to bring abstract concepts to life; it covers the basics well; it reinforces the importance of context in search and computing generally (we have to think of context as a first-order object); it expands ones conception or search, search interfaces and the search experience.

I do have a couple of caveats - I agree with another reviewer that this is patterns lite, so lite that I question whether these deserve the name patterms. It does not meet the standards for clear thinking and presentation set in the Gang of Four book. This is not a problem unique to this book, over the past few years there have been many books that play loose with the pattern meme. I would also have appreciated a deeper dive on the emerging role of semantics in search. The best example of this is the role that GoodRelations is playing is searching and finding products on eCommerce sites. I suspect that open and evolving ontologies like Good Relaitons will transform search over the next decade.

Design inspirations - thinking outside the search box

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 20 janvier 2011

Achat vérifié

Google may have set the standards for search, but there is much more than thinking inside the search box. Peter Morville and Jeffery Callender encourage us to think outside the box and explore all aspects of digital search: definition and significance, participants and context, user experience and psychology, design patterns, discovery engines, and future scenarios.

The outcome is an incredibly compact and entertaining design guide focusing primarily on web and mobile search, but lacking any reference to web analytics. A variety of concepts and patterns are illustrated using fascinating examples and well-thought-out visualizations. I appreciate the visualizations as they can be used as a reference, as summaries, or as refreshers. I completely agree with both authors, that we should be very passionate about search. "It's far more interesting and important than most people realize."

I can highly recommend this book, which is available both electronically and in print, to anyone who wants to better understand search and be more innovative when designing it. It is astonishing how much inspiration you can find when you start thinking outside the search box...

Colorful metaphors without any value

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 20 mars 2014

Achat vérifié

This is the worst book I have read that's related to search or information retrieval. From the title it looks that the book would talk about search patterns - it does but in a very vague and ambiguous manner.

The cartoon on the first page says
"This book is about the design of user interface for search and discovery, it covers all the bases from precision recall.......". From the title it looks like the book would cover practices and principles used in this design, but it doesn't. It just beat around the bush by using vague rhetoric all over the place such as this sentence
"in fact, we move fluidly between modes of ask, browse, filter and search without noting the shift..." or
"as designers we must expand our vision beyond finding to incorporate learning, and we can't stop there." No where does the author says how to do that expansion.

The book is full of such quotes and sentences that I would assume anyone interested in search would anyway know. The rhetoric by itself is not a problem; the problem is that the author stops with those rhetoric statements without saying anything meaningful.
What am I suppose to make out of this sentence
"Search is not just about find-ability. We search to learn , understand, share and act. As designers, when we focus on goals, the challenge becomes exhilarating (and scary), because the end of search is a moving target." - Makes sense to me but what do you expect me to do with this statement?

The author completely failed to mention in the book how the rhetoric connects to search patterns and that's what makes this book non-valuable.

Not so much

Commenté au Canada 🇨🇦 le 3 février 2013

Achat vérifié

I'm a huge fan of Mr. Morville but I was really disappointed in this book. It covers the topic of search patterns very superficially. If you are new to the field then this is the book for you. If you are familiar with the field, I do not recommend it. I don't feel this belongs in the O'Reilly catalogue, it belongs in the "For Dummies" catalogue.

More clever than informative

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 25 mars 2011

Achat vérifié

I was a bit disappointed by this book. It's a lot of rambling prose with clever metaphors that never lays out a glossary or taxonomy of search. The book isn't particularly well-organized or methodical in its discussion. There are interesting examples and observations, but it's hard to harness this material to do useful things. I can't say I regret buying the book but it fell short of what I expected.

If you are involved in Search, read this.

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 12 avril 2010

Achat vérifié

This is an excellent quick read, written by people at the leading edge of this industry who understand the Web, its legacy and its potential. There are so many ways search can go and so many considerations. This book presents a very up to date view of the key patterns and possibilities. It's also written with humor and well-illustrated. I enjoyed every minute and found it incredibly helpful in organizing my upcoming search implementation and in preparing for discussions with possible vendors. It also happens to just be a fun book.

Influential and inspirational book on Search and Information Architecture

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 4 octobre 2012

Achat vérifié

I love all of Peter Morville's work - whether it is Search with it's very engaging full color visuals, or the omnigraffle ux-human stencils that are available for free at graffletopia. Morville makes complex subjects easy to understand and underscores his points with a battery of inspiring examples. The book is very readable, especially when you're not an information architecture student or alumni. For everyone interested in Search, but also in information and knowledge management - this book is a must read.

Needs an revision but the concepts are solid. Fully of ideas for directions to innovate. If there's a revision coming I'd wait for it.
