In this paper, we investigate the sensemaking behaviour of online searchers in terms of sensemaking strategies, sharing of information, construction of a shared representation and sharing of task progress and status. We also looked into the support provided to them by search systems in the collaborative information seeking process. We report the results of an observational user study where 24 participants, in groups of 3, completed a travel planning task.
