Collaborative Web Search

Today's browsers and search engine sites are typically designed to support a single user, working alone. However, collaboration on information-seeking tasks is actually quite commonplace! For example, students work together to complete homework assignments, friends seek information about entertainment opportunities, and family members jointly plan vacation travel. My research on collaborative search is aimed at facilitating small-group collaboration on search tasks.
