Why?
• Organisational attitudes to search• Recognition of the value of information but no commitment to information
management• The majority of organisations have failed to invest adequately in technology, a
search team, taxonomy development, metadata and content quality
• Cognitive barriers to search • Vendor attitudes to marketing and sales• Search is difficult!• Business requirements are not being recognised
![Page 9: Findability Day 2015 - Martin White - The future is search!](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/58f2fd3e1a28abd6568b45ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cognitive barriers to information seeking
• Inability to articulate information needs• Unawareness of relevant information sources• Low self-efficacy, where the user feels that it will be difficult to obtain the
documents• Poor search skills• Inability to deal with information overload

issues

Many search scenarios involve more complex tasks such as learning about a new topic or planning a vacation.
These tasks often involve multiple search queries and can span multiple sessions.
Current search systems do not provide adequate support for tackling these tasks.
Instead, they place most of the burden on the searcher for discovering which aspects of the task they should explore.
Particularly challenging is the case when a searcher lacks the task knowledge necessary to decide which step to tackle next.
