  abstract = {While ad-hoc searches are well supported by current search engines, complex search tasks are not. There exist nearly no tools that match users’ needs in managing search results, when they are trying to satisfy complex information needs, in a way that users are able to search for and filter information in domains they might be not familiar with. Exploratory search is a promising interaction paradigm that tries to tackle these problems. While information retrieval techniques in general are quite good developed, exploratory search systems often lack in ergonomically designed user interfaces, e.g. they do not provide easy-to-use interactions for dynamic query reformulation, do not allow contextual change of user’s perspective and do not provide adequate result overviews. Users engaged in an exploratory search need to search sequentially or/and perform parallel searches, and often switch between sub-searches and different modes. This activity strains a user’s working memory capacities and increases her or his workload. This PhD thesis aims to address the ergonomic design of user interfaces and user experience for exploratory search tasks by providing generalized design patterns for the implementation of such applications.},
